Box Office Predictions for the Weekend of September 3-6

With Labor Day upon us the summer movie season officially draws to a close this weekend.

Danny Trejo stars in Machete from director Robert Rodriguez, George Clooney plays an assassin in The American and real on again, off again couple, Drew Barrymore and Justin Long star in romantic comedy, Going the Distance. Competition is light at the moment, so one of these films is all but guaranteed to open on top of the heap, but which one? Take a look.

With the summer movie season rapidly coming to a close and the studios already having fired their big guns weeks ago, it is a relatively boring weekend at the movies.

The biggest box office hit of all time will also be rereleased this weekend as James Cameron invites us back for a second visit to Pandora in Avatar: Special Edition.
