'Black Hawk Down' holds top spot in weekend box office
The No. 2 slot shaped up as a photo finish between Cuba Gooding Jr.'s canine comedy Snow Dogs and pop singer Mandy Moore's weepy teen romance A Walk to Remember, according to studio estimates yesterday.

Disney estimated Snow Dogs grossed $13.6 million in its second weekend, while Warner Bros. estimated A Walk to Remember debuted with $13.57 million.
LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers remain on combat alert. The frenzied military thriller Black Hawk Down held the top spot at the box office for a second straight weekend, taking in $18.2 million.
"Mandy's certainly been a star in the recording studio and she's now a real deal moving on to the big screen," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner.
According to Sunday estimates, the Richard Gere supernatural thriller The Mothman Prophecies made a debut at No. 4 with $11.8 million.
The latest remake of The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce, opened at No. 6 with $11.5 million.
"Movie-goers are interested in all these films to some degree,
Fresh off its success at the Golden Globes a week ago, A Beautiful Mind held well at No. 5 with $11.7 million, virtually unchanged from the previous weekend.
and the demographics are just being split between all these movies,"said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
After a limited debut in December to qualify for the Oscars, I Am Sam expanded to wider release and grossed $8.3 million, finishing at No.7.
the weekend's other wide debut, the martial-arts spoof Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, opened at No.9 with $7.3 million.
The top 12 movies grossed $115.3 million, up a whopping 56 percent from the same weekend a year ago, when the Super Bowl dampened movie-going. Studios expect a similarly slow time during next weekend's Super Bowl.
