'American Pie 2' still in top spot
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES —American Pie 2 continues to out-gross all challengers. Amid a weak field of new films, the gross-out comedy remained the top movie for a third straight weekend.
Taking in $12.8 million over the weekend, American Pie 2 pushed its total take to $109.6 million in 17 days, according to studio estimates yesterday. *Rush Hour 2* remained the No. 2 film with $11.4 million, raising its 24-day total to $183.3 million.
Among a rush of new movies, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back drew the biggest audience. The comedy from writer-director Kevin Smith was No. 3 with $11.1 million.
The baseball flick Summer Catch, starring Freddie Prinze Jr., is in sixth place with $7.5 million. The sci-fi thriller John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars opened weakly with $3.8 million to finish at No. 9.
Woody Allen's The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, playing in far fewer theaters than the other new
films, had a so-de foob of $2.5 million to come in at No.11.
Hollywood is in the midst of its typical late-summer doldrums, when movie-going trails off.
*Bubble Boy*, a comedy about a youth with a deficient immune system, did not even break into the top 12, opening with just $2 million.
"It feels like summer is over," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations, which tracks the box office.
The industry is creeping toward its all-time summer revenue high of $3 billion set in 1999, a record Hollywood should break by next weekend.
While it was a slow weekend compared to most of this summer, the overall box office still rose compared to the same weekend last year. The top 12 movies grossed $82.5 million, up about 10 percent.
Jay and Silent Bob drew the steadiest crowds among new films, averaging $4,014 a theater in 2,765 locations. The movie stars Jason Mewes and Smith as
the title characters, who were supporting players in his previous four movies, including Dogma and Chasing Amy.
The movie drew heavily on Smith's cult following, but distributor Miramax hopes it will find a broader audience.
Playing in 2,335 theaters,
Summer Catch averaged $3,227.
The comedy played mainly to
Prinze's core audience of women
under 25, said Dan Fellman,
head of distribution for Warner
Bros., which released the movie.
Curse of the Jade Scorpion, a comedy starring Allen and Helen Hunt, averaged $2,769 in 903 theaters. The movie was a step back from last year's Small Time Crooks, which averaged a healthy $4,486 a theater and became Allen's biggest box-office success in years.
Ghosts of Mars averaged just $1,855 in 2,048 theaters. Bubble Boy did even worse, averaging $1,246 in 1,605 theaters.
