The MTV phenomenon JACKASS struck a chord down under, with the film debuting at the top spot with $1,703,700. Last week's number 1 comedy JUST MARRIED dropped to 2 with $5,039,446. Al and Colin in THE RECRUIT made $1,130,187 beating out George's ass in the Soderbergh drama SOLARIS which failed to make a decent impression despite critical acclaim, only taking in $118,434. MAID IN MANHATTAN made an impressive preview screening total of $841,890. Films still doing impressive business in the Top 10 after several weeks include CHICAGO with $12,433,896, GANGS OF NEW YORK with $5,444,562 and LORD OF THE RINGS with $44,195,535.
