Despite falling a further 42% in takings, TERMINATOR 3 held on top for a third week. It's hatrick at the top has earned the James Cameron-less action flick $14,985,243. Missing out to repeat its US Box Office success of claiming the #1 spot was the mind bending thriller IDENTITY which debuted at #2 with $1,308,261. Cameron, Drew and Lucy Liu continue to hold strong in the Top 3 after 5 weeks with a combined total of $17,718,081. Making a surprise high debut was Gwyneth Paltrow's high flying comedy VIEW FROM THE TOP which slipped into the Top 5 at #4 with $512,363. Aussie crime comedy BAD EGGS fell 23% and 2 spots with $497,200, taking its two week total to $1,391,030. Continuing to go strong, surprisingly, after 7 weeks is BRUCE ALMIGHTY which holds steady in the Top 10 with $19,872,338 to its name. The appauling looking Aussie made comedy DANNY DECKCHAIR took in $326,855 at #7. Last week it had a less than stellar Advance Screening, which failed to make the Top 20, and has managed $387,251 all together. Two of the more well received films in the charts, CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND and CONFIDENCE, fell in their second week and have accumulated little totals. The George Clooney drama fell 35% with a combined two week total of $680,518 ahead of the Ed Burns/Rachel Weisz thriller which fell 48%, but has managed slightly better after 2 weeks with $721,482. Making a much higher debut than I expected, the poorly received action flick EXTREME OPS debuted at #11 with $139,388. The lowest debut of the week belonged to creepy horror outing WRONG TURN. It's 42 screen count and lack of publicity played against the Eliza Dushku gore flick which slaughtered $92,053. Ang Lee's HULK continues to fall, and looks to have run out of his anger with the big budget blockbuster falling 58% and 8 spots with $69,008. After 6 weeks it has gathered $9,543,361. I'm surprised it hasn't made $10,000,000, and has been slipping as much, but that's the way it goes. On the topic of slipping, Laurence Fishburne's BIKER BOYZ fell 64% with a two week total of $250,377, whilst Jamie Kennedy's wiggerisms cost him a second week decline of 70% and 11 positions. The obviously hated comedy has managed $277,587. Rounding out the charts this week is Dreamworks SINBAD which fell a further 47%, but has managed a nice little sum of $4,254,865 after 5 weeks.
THIS WEEK (August 7th): 2003 has definitely been year of the sequel and another one makes the cinematic rounds this week in the form of comedy outing AMERICAN PIE: THE WEDDING. Jim and the gang open opposite Kurt Russell and Scott Speedman doing the cop routine in DARK BLUE.

It's definitely time for a new number 1 this week, and it's pretty obvious that the Pie gang will be the victors. Sequels are always worthy players on the charts, and these films have certainly become crowd faves, so I expect the horny gang to cum out on top.
