WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Guardians of the Galaxy tops the Labor Day chart with 22.2 million, becoming the biggest domestic earner of the year so far (280.5 million) on one of the traditionally slowest weekends of the year at the cinema.Releasing at the beginning of August, with less competition from other big movies, turned out just about perfect for Marvel. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shows again with 15.7 million; it still has a ways to go to profit, but next weekend is likely to feature these two films topping the chart again.  If I Stay shows with 11.6 million and nears profitability against an 11 million budget. Let's Be Cops stays in the fourth slot with 10.6 million and is probably edging into profit. The debut of So Above/So Below rounds out the Top 5with 10.3 million, though The November Man could take that spot when the receipts are finally counted.
