 Posted by:
Audiences feasted on zombies as the fright flick "Dawn of the Dead'' ruled the box office, debuting with $27.3 million and bumping "The Passion of the Christ'' from the top spot.

Mel Gibson's "The Passion'' took in $19.2 million, slipping to second place after three straight weekends on top, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"The Passion'' raised its domestic total to $295.3 million since opening Feb. 25.

Opening in third place with $11.4 million was "Taking Lives,'' starring Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke in a tale of an FBI profiler tracking a murderer who assumes victims' identities.

In narrower release, Jim Carrey's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'' premiered at No. 6 with $8.6 million. Carrey plays a man reliving recollections of a soured romance after he hires a company to erase his memories of his lover, played by Kate Winslet. AP
