"We Were" First

Taking the top spot this past weekend was the new Mel Gibson vietnam drama We Were Soliders with a solid take of 20.2 million. Perhaps this could be Randall Wallace's saving grace after "Pearl Harbor." In second place another new film, 40 Days and 40 Nights with a decent 12.2 million. John Q. still continues to play well with 8.5 million, while Return To Never Land is still hanging with 6.8. Dragonfly took a somewhat substantial dive raking in only 6.6 for fifth place.

Taking a whopping 60% dive was last week's number one film, The Queen Of The Damned. This week it only brought in 5.9 million... perhaps all of Aaliyah's fans and Anne Rice's fans already went to see it? Big Fat Liar took in 4.9 more, while A Beautiful Mind, Crossroads and The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring rounded out the top ten with 4.6, 4.0 and 3.3 million each, respectively.
