The gambling drama 21 was once again the box office champ, generating $15.1 million in ticket sales during its second week in release. The Kevin Spacey vehicle has now earned a cumulative total of $45.53 million domestically.
Second place went to newcomer Leatherheads, a romantic comedy about pro football in the 1920s that stars George Clooney and Renée Zellweger. The film earned a disappointing $13.4 million to barely edge out fellow newcomer Nim’s Island.
The only other new release to debut in the top 10 was the Carter Smith horror/thriller The Ruins, which sold $7.8 million in tickets — good enough for fifth place this week.
