Despite the lack of intriguing options in theatres over the Labour Day weekend, box office numbers were still generally better than expected with One Direction: This is Us coming out on top with $17 million. The Butler did give the boy band documentary a run for its money, however, continuing to pull in crowds in its third weekend and ultimately falling to #2. We’re the Millers was in third place followed by Disney’s Planes, while the biggest surprise of the weekend was the Mexican comedy Instructions Not Included, which debuted at #5 despite playing on just 347 screens. Meanwhile, Getaway starring Ethan Hawke and Selene Gomez was a complete dud, opening at #9 with just $4.5 million, and the weekend’s other new release, Closed Circuit, didn’t even crack the top 10, making just $2.5 million.
