Box Office Report: Sept. 1-4

Scoring another touchdown over the extended Labor Day weekend, “Invincible” maintained its hold at the top of the box office, tackling new films starring Jason Statham and Nicolas Cage, respectively. Slower expansion in theaters and strong word-of-mouth have seemingly paid off for “Little Miss Sunshine” and “The Illusionist,” which both had solid weekends of their own. Otherwise, it was a rather uneventful weekend on the charts.
