Ryan holds on to No. 1 spot,
Armageddon remains in Top 10
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
graphic World War II epic Saving
Private Ryan kept its lock on the No.
1 box office slot while Disney's re
make of The Parent Trap opened in
second place, according to industry
estimates Sunday.
Two other new films. The Nego
tiator and Ever After, placed fourth
and fifth, respectively.
Steven Spielberg's tale, starring
Tom Hanks as a captain ordered to
find and send home a private
whose three brothers have been
killed in action, had an estimated
$23.3 million in ticket sales in its
second week. It now has grossed
$73 million.
The Parent Trap brought in
$11.5 million for the weekend af
ter a strong Wednesday opening
that gave it a cumulative total of
$16.6 million.
The remake benefited from an
audience that still remembers
the 1961 original, Buena Vista
Pictures said.
"There are a terrific number of
women who saw the first one who
are going in groups — some with
their children, some without," Phil
Bartlow, Buena Vista's president of
distribution, said. "We're also get
ting some of the teen-age girls."
Lindsay Lohan stars in the dual
role of twin girls — played by Hay-
ley Mills in the original — who try
to reunite their divorced mother
and father, played by Dennis Quaid
and Natasha Richardson.
There's Something About Mary, a
raunchy comedy that opened
three weeks ago as a surprise hit,
moved up a notch to third place
with $11 million to beat out the
The Negotiator. That police drama,
starring Samuel L. Jackson and
Kevin Spacey, debuted with $10.4
million, according to Exhibitor
Relations Co. Inc.
There's Something About Mary
saw its ticket sales fall a rela
tively paltry 12 percent from the
previous week.
"This is a farcical comedy that
works," Art Rockwell, analyst for
Drake and Co, said. "It's got incred
ible legs. It's just not dropping off."
Ever After, starring Drew Barry
more and Anjelica Huston in a new
twist on the Cinderella story, opened
with $8.5 million to tie for fifth place
with The Mask ofZorro.
Lethal Weapon 4 placed seventh
with $7.7 million, breaking the $100
million mark in its fourth week.
Armageddon was next with $7.5
million while Doctor Dolittle and
Mafia rounded out the top 10
with $4.4 million and $3.6 mil
lion, respectively.
BASEketball, a sports satire from
Naked Gun’s David Zucker that stars
TV's "South Park" creators Matt
Stone and Trey Parker, opened in
eleventh place with $3 million.
Here are estimated grosses for
the top movies at North Ameri
can theaters for Friday through
Sunday as compiled by Exhibitor
Relations, Inc. Final figures are
expected today:
1. Saving Private Ryan, $23.3 million.
2. The Parent Trap, $11.5 million.
3. There’s Something About Mary,
$11 million.
4. The Negotiator, $10.4 million.
5. Ei’er After, $8.5 million.
5. The Mask of Zorro, $8.5 million.
7. Lethal Weapon 4, $7.7 million.
8. Armageddon, $7.5 million.
9. Doctor Dolittle, $4.4 million.
10. Mafia, $3.6 million.
