The long Labor Day weekend saw plenty of traffic at the multiplex in a fitting end to a record-breaking summer at the domestic B.O. that saw a number of titles overperform.

Pic's international cume through Sunday was $83.3 for a global haul of $178.2.

"Basterds" was the top pic on Sunday the domestic B.O.

All About Steve" and "Gamer."

Sandra Bullock-Bradley
