The Butler won the 2013 Labor Day weekend box office after a close race with One Direction: This Is Us.

Although the documentary-concert film out-grossed the Lee Daniels movie Friday through Sunday, The Butler held on tight to come out on top for the four-day holiday overall.

The Butler took in $20 million total, earning its third weekend in the top spot, compared to $18 million for This Is Us.

In third place was We’re The Millers, which earned $16.3 million over the four days.

Planes and Instructions Not Included came in fourth and fifth, respectively, with a total of $10.5 million and $10.3 million.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Elysium ($8.2 million), The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones ($6.8 million), The World’s End ($6.5 million), Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters ($5.9 million), Getaway ($5.5 million), and Closed Circuit ($3.1 million).

One Direction: This Is Us Leading Holiday Weekend Box Office

2:34 pm, August 31st, 2013

BOX OFFICE

(Sony)

One Direction: This Is Us is expected to top the Labor Day holiday box office in its debut weekend.

The documentary-concert film is on track to open with $22 million for the four-day weekend.

That puts it ahead of The Butler, which is expected to fall to second place with a possible $18 million.

In third could be We’re The Millers with an estimated $15 million.

Several films are crowding the rest of the spots, including Planes, Elsyium, Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, and the new Spanish-language comedy Instructions Not Included.

Getaway, starring Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez, is disappointing so far, and may not make the Top 10.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
