Movie fans arrived at "The Final Destination" for a second straight week, putting the horror flick above Sandara Bullock's latest romantic comedy at the top of the Labor Day weekend box office.

The tale of terror earned $12.4 million during the three days beginning Friday, while "All About Steve," starring Bullock as a lovelorn crossword puzzle expert, followed with a disappointing $11.2 million.

"Inglourious Basterds" slipped to No. 3 with $10.8 million, making the three-week tally for Quentin Tarantino's World War II picture just $17 million short of the director's biggest film, "Pulp Fiction," which earned $108 million in 1994.

"Gamer" opened at No. 4 with $9 million, and "Extract," the other new release, checked in at No. 10 with just under $4.2 million.

"Gamer" is a thriller about real humans controlled by players in lethal games.

"Extract," starring Jason Bateman and Mila Kunis, is another workplace satire from "Office Space" director and "Beavis and Buttonhead" creator Mike Judge.

Labor Day box-office receipts were up 7% from last year as recession-hit Americans continued to flock to the movies for cheap fun.
