What today's IMDb movies reveal
Labor Day MOVIEmeter flipped from a frozen September 6 list into a streaming-plus-theatrical mix. Mayday at 1 is an Apple TV weekend title, not a multiplex opener. The Runner at 5 is a Prime Video title from September 2. Buddy at 9 is an August 28 indie still collecting holiday grosses.
Theatrical rows did not keep yesterday's order. Spider-Man: Brand New Day remains the Labor Day box-office leader in trade recaps and still falls 4 to 6 here. The Odyssey holds near the top at 3 while The Dog Stars, out the same August 28 weekend as Buddy, falls 5 ranks.
Four September 6 titles are gone. The IMDb MOVIEmeter API call does not return rank-change integers inside the row; the moves above come from comparing this file with September 6. get_growth was skipped. These rows are film titles, not keyword sources.
