There seems to be no stopping "The Lord of
the Rings: The Return of the King", as the film nabbed the top of the box-office
for the third straight week.
This past weekend was basically a repeat
of the previous week due to the lack of any new major releases.
“Rings” brought in $30.8 million capturing
the top spot. Steve Martin’s new comedy “Cheaper by the Dozen” earned just
under $22 million for a solid second place finish.
The Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton romantic
comedy “Something’s Gotta Give” brought in $12.5 million while the civil
war drama “Cold Mountain” earned another $11.7 million.
The top 5 was rounded out by the new sci-fi
thriller from Ben Affleck, “Paycheck” which earned an even $10 million.
"The Return of the King" has been a huge
success in North America, earning about $292 since it was released on Dec.
17th.
“Rings” will get some new competition this
coming weekend with the wide release of Tim Burton’s new film “Big Fish”,
as well as Mandy Moore’s “Chasing Liberty” and the new comedy “My Baby's
Daddy”.

of the King” - $30.8 million.
