Weekend Box-Office: SPIDER-MAN NO WAY HOME Re-Release Leads Labor Day Frame

The 2022 Labor Day weekend box-office received a serious boost from National Cinema Day, an event that brought 8.1 million moviegoers to theaters, a record number for 2022, with the help of heavily discounted $3 tickets. More than 3,000 theaters across the country, including major chains, participated in the event and charged just $3 for admission to any movie in any format, including IMAX, 3D, D-Box, and ScreenX. The one-day event brought in $24.3 million.
