With the unofficial end of summer upon us, five films vie for remnants of your summer movie bucks. Disaster Movie, Babylon A.D., Hamlet 2, Traitor, and College all open this weekend. It would appear that there is a film for everyone in that smorgasbord of fresh titles, and each will most likely rake in respective box office numbers. This weekend closes a surprisingly profitable summer for Hollywood, expected to make around 4 billion dollars by the close of the summer season. Down slightly from the record setting summer last year, which grossed over 4.16 billion dollars. This summer has proved that Hollywood is not quite yet completely out of new ideas. We here at Surreelfilm will be publishing our summer recap at the end of this week in case you missed anything. Until then take your pick of movie genres this week, or indulge your inner sports fan and sit on your coach and watch the opening weekend of college football, like me.

UPDATE: Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder comfortably edged out Vin Diesel's Babylon A.D. for the top spot this past weekend, bringing in $14.3 million and $12 million respectively. Disaster Movie opened at $6.9 million.
