Hero dominates once again! I really enjoyed this movie and you can read my review here. For the second week in a row it captures the top spot with an estimated $9 million. This will probably result in the movie being played in more cities. Hopefully Miramax will give it that extra push.

Next on the charts is "Without a Paddle" which rose one spot and reeled in about $7.1 million. "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" took the number three spot at $6.4 million. "Paparazzi" opened up at only $6.1 million. A disappointed number for any opening film. "The Cookout" rounds out the top 5 list at $5.6 million.
