The U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend, which marks the traditional end of summer, was led for a third round by "Tropic Thunder." Ben Stiller's Hollywood satire earned an estimated $14.3 million during the four-day period. It marks the lowest tally for a Labor Day holiday chart-topper since 2004, when the martial-arts film "Hero" opened to $11.5 million.

@manilamaverick (and other box office fans) - All four day box office figures at the moment are based on estimates. The actual numbers will come in this afternoon. Since we have several films on the bubble between options, I'm going to wait for the actuals to settle all the box office questions. Just a few more hours!
