The Sixth Sense had yet another stunning weekend, raking in an $24 million. That's just a 7% drop after expanding 293 theaters to 2,688. Its total stands at $107.5 million after 17 days, and it could end up being the second highest grossing picture of the summer. Chances are also that it will stay at the top spot for the next two to three weeks, giving it the longest reign since Titanic.

The newcomers performed like late August entries usually do. Mickey Blue Eyes grossed $10.2 million from 2,573 theaters. Decent for a Hugh Grant picture, but it averaged only $3,956 per theater. Universal Soldier: The Return ended up with $4.6 million, about average among Jean-Claude Van Damme's recent outings. That he wasn't able to capitalize on the action drought is further proof of his has-been status. Teaching Mrs. Tingle was a spectacular failure, grossing just $3.3 million from 1,710 theaters. The signs did point to this, but who'd have thought that a picture from one of the main proponents of the genre could fare so poorly? Perhaps this is a sign that the latest teen cycle has almost run its course.
