'Hannibal' still chewing up the competition




The Associated Press

        LOS ANGELES — Movie-goers remained hungry for Hannibal, which grossed $30 million to top the box office for a second straight weekend.

        The sequel to The Silence of the Lambs became the first movie released this year to hit $100 million, taking in $103.9 million in just 10 days, according to studio estimates Sunday.

        Chris Rock's comedy Down to Earth — a remake of Heaven Can Wait, itself a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan — debuted at No. 2 with $17.5 million.

        Recess: School's Out premiered in third place with $10.8 million. Based on the TV cartoon Disney's Recess, the movie follows a pack of school chums as they battle a plot to do away with summer vacation.

        Sweet November, a remake of a 1968 movie starring Sandy Dennis and Anthony Newley, debuted at No. 4 with $10.6 million. The tearjerker romance stars Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.

        The box office was boosted by the long President's Day weekend, with more people hitting theaters on Sunday because they had the day off Monday.

        Overall, the top 12 movies grossed $109.8 million, up 17 percent from the same weekend a year ago.

        Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures were to be released Mon day.

        1. Hannibal, $30 million.

        2. Down to Earth, $17.5 million.

        3. Recess: School's Out, $10.8 million.

        4. Sweet November, $10.6 million.

        5. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, $8.8 million.

        6. Traffic, $6.5 million.

        7. The Wedding Planner, $5.7 million.

        8. Cast Away, $5 million.

        9. Chocolat, $4.8 million.

        10. Saving Silverman, $4.3 million.
