`Die Another Day' shows life with win at box office



The Associated Press

Die Another Day has won another weekend at the box office.

The James Bond flick, which debuted as the No. 1 movie two weeks earlier, returned to the top spot with $13 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The mobster-in-therapy sequel Analyze That, starring Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal opened with $11.3 million. Analyze This had premiered with $18.4 million in 1999 on its way to a total of $106.7 million.

"We'll just have to see how it holds up," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., which released Analyze That. "Hopefully, we can use this weekend as a springboard to get word of mouth out there and continue through the holidays."

Last weekend's top film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, slipped to third place with $10 million, lifting its total to $213.9 million in just over three weeks.

John Leguizamo's drug and gangster drama Empire opened strongly in narrower release, grossing $6.3 million and coming in at No. 4.

Empire was the first movie released by a partnership between Universal Pictures and Arenas Entertainment, which targets Hispanic viewers. Latinos made up 51 percent of the audience for Empire.

The sci-fi thriller Equilibrium, starring Christian Bale, Taye Diggs and Emily Watson, opened weakly with $528,000 in 301 theaters, averaging $1,754.

In limited release, the acclaimed Adaptation grossed $400,000 in just seven theaters for a whopping $57,143 average. Starring Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep and Chris Cooper, the film reunites Being John Malkovich screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze for a bizarre story of an anxiety-ridden writer struggling to adapt a book to film.

Adaptation, in which Mr. Cage plays a fictionalized version of Mr. Kaufman and his make-believe twin brother, will expands to more theaters later this month.

The box office was down, with the top 12 movies grossing $69.5 million, off 15 percent from the same weekend last year, when Ocean's 11 opened with a $38.1 million debut.
