With one more day to go, it appears The American will end up triumphant for the four-day Labor Day weekend. Early estimates have the George Clooney thriller pulling in just under $13 million for its Friday through Sunday gross, which translates to around $16.1 million total since its opening on Wednesday. By Monday, it should reach roughly $16 million for the four-day holiday, and $20 million total.
Last weekend’s top draw Takers, meanwhile, slipped into second place with an estimated $11.5 million, which will likely inch up close to $14 million for the holiday, putting the heist thriller near a $40 million total
