This past weekend was basically a repeat of the previous week due to the lack of any new major releases.
�Rings� brought in $30.8 million capturing the top spot. Steve Martin�s new comedy �Cheaper by the Dozen� earned just under $22 million for a solid second place finish.
The Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton romantic comedy �Something�s Gotta Give� brought in $12.5 million while the civil war drama �Cold Mountain� earned another $11.7 million.
The top 5 was rounded out by the new sci-fi thriller from Ben Affleck, �Paycheck� which earned an even $10 million.
"The Return of the King" has been a huge success in North America, earning about $292 since it was released on Dec. 17th.
�Rings� will get some new competition this coming weekend with the wide release of Tim Burton�s new film �Big Fish�, as well as Mandy Moore�s �Chasing Liberty� and the new comedy �My Baby's Daddy�.
