UNBELIEVABLE, but true. Not only did it easily gained the top spot,
but "The Grinch", Jim Carrey´s latest, also broke some records on its
way. It did 55 million at the box office, which makes it the fifth
highest grossing movie ever on its opening weekend, and the number
one movie ever not to be a sequel. Impressed? Well, it also marked
best results for Jim Carrey and Ron Howard in what's been successful
careers for both of them. Remarking the point that this was a kiddie
weekend, "Rugrats in Paris" finished in the numer two slot, with 22.7
million. A good number indeed. "Charlie's Angels", in its third week
of release, managed to add 13.3 million to its already huge gross.
The two other big releases of the weekend ended in the fourth and
fifth spots respectively. "The Sixth Day" did 13 million,
while "Bounce" did 11.4 million. Quite disappointing for
Schwarzenegger, but quite overwhelming for Gwyneth and Ben. The rest
of the list saw a few changes, proving that "Little Nicky" and "Red
Planet" are indeed sinking fast.

Next week will see things shaking up a lot, when "102 Dalmatians"
and "Unbreakable" hit theaters.

Here's the complete rundown:

1."Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, 55 million (55 m. total)
2."Rugrats in Paris", 22.7 million (22.7 m.)
3."Charlie's Angels", 13.3 million (93.2 m.)
4."The Sixth Day", 13 million (13 m.)
5."Bounce", 11.4 million (11.4 m.)
6."Men of Honor", 7.9 million (24.9 m.)
7."Little Nicky", 7.7 million (26.5 m.)
8."Meet the Parents", 6.3 million (138.5 m.)
9."Red Planet", 2.8 million (13.5 m.)
10."The Legend of Bagger Vance", 2.8 million (25.2 m.)
