The pint-sized sleuths of Miramax's Spy Kids clung onto the number one spot for a second weekend with $17.1M, a drop of 33% to a total of $49M.
The $35M Robert-Rodriguez film should have no problems surpassing the $100M domestically. This should make Spy Kids the director's biggest Hollywood hit to date.

Debuting at number two with a solid $16.7M was Paramount's Along Came a Spider. Opening across 2,350 theatres, the Morgan Freeman starrer averaged a strong $6,760 per screen. This is the prequel to Kiss the Girls, that starred Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. That film opened with $13M
and went onto gross $60M. This film should easily surpass its predecessor.

Entering the chart at number three with a decent $12.4M was New Line's
Blow. Starring Johnny Depp and Hollywood's hottest rising star, Penelope Cruz, the film charts the rise and fall of drug kingpin George Jung. Playing across 2,250 screens, the film averaged a respectable $5,500 and should see a final domestic cume of $50-60M.

New at number four was Pokemon 3, the third installment of the series based upon the once popular cartoon series. The film took a so-so $8.2M and a poor per theatre average of $3,400. Evidence of the films decreasing popularity can be seen in the openings of Pokemon ($31M) and Pokemon 2000 ($19.6).

Ashley Judd starrer Someone Like You plummeted 45% to $5.3M this weekend, bringing its tally to around $18M. The film should end up with a domestic count of around $30M. Sigourney Weaver-Jennifer Love-Hewitt starrer Heartbreakers dropped 35% this weekend to $5.0M, bringing its domestic take to $30M in 17 days.

Paramount's WWII flick Enemy at the Gates fell 35% to $3.3M, bringing its cume to $39M to date. Sony's The Brothers plunged 47% to $3M, bringing its tally to $22M so far.

Rounding off the top ten this week is Sony Classics Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that slipped 39% (and lost 280 theatres) to $2.8M, and its total to an impressive $118M in 18 weeks. Sony's sex comedy Tomcats plunged a massive 55% in its second weekend to $2.9M, bringing its total to a very poor $11M in ten days. With a modest budget, the film shouldn't have any problems making its money back, but is still a big disappointment for Sony.
