Bringing Down the House led the box office for the third straight weekend.
The top 12 films grossed an estimated $83.9 million—a 29% drop from the same weekend a year ago, due in part to the first weekend of the war in Iraq.
Bringing Down the House, a comedy starring Steve Martin and Queen Latifah, topped the box office with $16.2 million, pushing its total take to $83.4 million in three weeks.
The Stephen King adaptation Dreamcatcher opened in second place with $15.3 million. Agent Cody Banks, Frankie Muniz's teen-spy flick, dropped from second to third place in its second weekend out with $9.3 million.
Miramax’s Gwyneth Paltrow vehicle, View From the Top, bowed in fourth place with $7.6 million.
The G-rated Piglet's Big Movie opened in seventh place with $6.1 million while the Cuba Gooding Jr. comedy Boat Trip came in a distant 10th with $3.7 million.
