‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Ends the Summer on Box Office High

Guardians of the Galaxy has ended the summer on a high by becoming the country’s highest grossing movie of the year.

The action film’s $16.3 million Labor Day weekend take was enough to take it back to the top of the box office for a third week, overtaking fellow Marvel Studios superhero blockbuster Captain America: The Winter Soldier along the way.

Guardians of the Galaxy has now made over $274 million since its release at the beginning of August.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remake comes in second with $11.8 million and Chloe Grace Moretz’s new movie If I Stay rounds out the new top three.

Low-budget horror film As Above, So Below is the week’s highest debut, entering the U.S. box office at four with an estimated $8.3 million.
