Wiki News/Labor Day Box Office Best Bets – Bring It On: No Matter What, Machete, The American, Going the Distance

Labor Day weekend is almost upon us and how better to spend a day off than at the movies, in a nice cool, air-conditioned theater? Many people will, but what exactly are they likely to be watching?

Amy Tammie's Bring It On: No Matter What is a good bet to rule at the box office this weekend. With Emily Osment and Keke Palmer playing as her bffs, this is a real catfight with rivals Victoria Justice and Emma Roberts.

Add with Ryan Sheckler as Tammie's handsome basketball beau, this movie fills with bigger romance. And Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez also starring, they are have a catfight over the man they love. Now this will be the biggest challenge yet.

With Robert De Niro playing a Texas state senator running his campaign on a “roll back the illegals, electrify the border fence” platform and Rodriquez go to man Danny Trejo playing his adversary the movie is made already.

Add the delicious Michelle Rodriguez and the ever lovely Jessica Alba (also stars in Bring It On: No Matter What), tough guys Steven Seagal and Don Johnson and oh yeah, Lindsay Lohan as a “drug addled, over sexed nymphet (no stretch there some might say) and this movie sounds like a winner.

Runners up should include George Clooney’s “The American”. That movie already opened on Wednesday but its slick script and Clooney’s star power should do well right through the holiday weekend.

Also on offer is Drew Barrymore and her on and off again real life love Justin Long in the light romantic comedy “Going the Distance”. In a weekend packed with action movies it is likely to be the choice of the date night crowd.

“Takers” did well last weekend and with the news of T.I.’s real life arrest keeping the movie title in people’s minds right now that film, which also stars Chris Brown and Paul Walker, should still draw a good crowd as well. The PG-13 rating the bank heist movie managed to score brought in plenty of teenagers last week and those who did not see it then will likely be pestering to do so this weekend.

Last but not least is the horror flick “The Last Exorcism”, which is heading into its sophomore weekend. There is always an audience for a good blood and gore slocker and the movie scores on that level.
