LOS ANGELES (AP) - “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” once again reigned over a slow weekend at the box office, topping the charts for a third weekend with $10.5 million. With no major releases across the Labor Day holiday weekend, holdovers populated the top five, with the horror pic “Annabelle: Creation” in second with $7.5 million.

Third place went to the crime drama “Wind River,” with $6.2 million, while fourth was occupied by the animated “Leap!” with $4.8 million. “Logan Lucky,” the heist comedy from Steven Soderbergh, rounded out the top five with $4.4 million.

This weekend closes out what will go on the books as the lowest-earning summer movie-going season since 2006.
