Still, that might be the best outcome of the coming weeks - but we'll see if things can stay ahead of expectations and maybe pull off a slight win over the very dire predictions for the fall. As far as the MPAA is concerned, it's business as …

As the we enter what's looking to be a very long and depressing September at the box office, Labor Day weekend offered $3 tickets and the return of a web-slinging hero, though it was Top Gun: Maverick that once again flew past the competition - and back into first place. Overall, however, it was still a dire weekend, the $55.18 million was just a bit ahead of last week's $52.1 million but still …
