The four-day Labor Day weekend box office numbers are in. "Guardians of the Galaxy" easily stays on the top spot due to weak holiday competitions, taking in a total of approximately $22.2 million from Friday, August 29 to Monday, September 1.

"Guardians" is expected to end the summer with over $280.5 million domestically and will pass the $300 million mark next weekend as there's no new releases coming ahead.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" rakes in an estimated $15.7 million over the four-day weekend for a total of $166.4 million, followed by "If I Stay" with approximately $11.6 million. Comedy "Let's Be Cops" and horror flick "As Above, So Below" switch position after the fourth day is counted in. The former clocks in at around $10.6 million while the new entry takes in a total of $10.3 million. Fellow newcomer "The November Man" ends up with approximately $10.2 million over the course of four days.
