Slash And Earn

In spite of all that bloodshed, Freddy vs. Jason stayed alive at No. 1 for a second week as the top four — including solid holdovers Open Range and Freaky Friday — avoided the grim reaper. In fifth place, Jackie Chan’s The Medallion led a slate of weak (and long-delayed) newcomers, including My Boss’s Daughter and Marci X. Indies, meanwhile, fared better, as the widely praised American Splendor (No. 24) and Thirteen (No. 42) boasted beefy averages, and the widely panned The Battle of Shaker Heights (No. 54) exceeded expectations. Finally, Finding Nemo swam, gimpy fin and all, past Forrest Gump and The Lion King to No. 8 on the all-time list. It is now the highest-grossing animated movie ever.
