HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 4, 2000 -- Shake your pom-poms, shake your pom-poms. The Kirsten Dunst starrer "Bring It On" easily led the box office over the long holiday weekend for the second consecutive week, taking in $15.8 million, according to estimates by Exhibitor Relations Inc.
The weekend's two "high-profile" openers couldn't muster much mullah. "Highlander: Endgame," the fourth in the cult favorite series, failed to make the Top Five, bowing in at No. 6 with $6.6 million. The Amanda Peet starrer "Whipped" failed to whip up enough business to make a Top 10 debut.
"The Cell" starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughan and Vincent D'Onofrio rebounded from third place to second place this week, thrilling audiences in its third week to the tune of $9.3 million. Its take to date is $45.8 million.
Rounding out the Top Five were "Space Cowboys" with $8.7 million, "The Art of Wa

The first rule of the cooking club is that you never, ever talk about the cooking club.
And the second rule of the cooking club is ... well, you get the point.
Sexy Brad Pitt might reunite with director David Fincher, whom the actor worked with in "Seven" and "Fight Club," to do a film called "Seared."
According to Daily Variety, the film is a loose reworking of chef Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential," which centers on the career of a New York celebrity chef.
'DEATH' TRAP: Variety says that Michael Douglas and Billy Crystal are considering taking the leads in "Till Death Do Us Part." The film is supposed to be a remake of 1979's "The In-Laws" which focuses on a dentist and a CIA agent in South America.
HE GOT 'GAME': Variety also reports that Gary Sinise will join Philip Baker Hall and Mason Gamble in the drama "A Gentleman's Game" about a g

SANTA MONICA, Calif., August 31, 2000 -- It's cheerleaders vs. immortals this weekend, and insiders are betting the beauties will beat the beasts.
Universal's "Bring It On" could wind up topping the chart with a relatively modest four-day gross of $12-14 million. Last Labor Day weekend saw Buena Vista/Touchstone's blockbuster "The Sixth Sense" in first place with a hefty $29.3 million.
Typically, Hollywood doesn't expect the box office to sizzle over the four-day Labor Day weekend. The holiday marks the end of summer and a return to school for youngsters and hasn't been seen over the years by the industry as a great time to go after moviegoers with high-profile, big-budget openings.
"Even people who don't have kids are kind of in a frame of mind of getting back to work and buckling down," explains one executive.
After kicking off last weekend with a chart-

SANTA MONICA, Calif. March 29, 2000 -- Good news, depending on your love and/tolerance for "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Bicentennial Man": Chris Columbus has been signed to direct "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." In a bit of even better news, this means there's no way Columbus will possibly have time to ruin, er, helm either the planned "Spider-man" flick or the "Planet of the Apes" remake -- two movies the "Nine Months" auteur had been attached to in recent years. (The "Apes" gig is done deal anyway -- Tim Burton's set for that one.)
As for the "Potter" movie: It'll be the first in what Warner Bros. is hoping will be a kiddie franchise based on the mega-selling kiddie book series.
Shooting could begin as soon as this summer, with a Summer 20001 release planned.
Columbus comes to the project after mentor Steven Spielberg famously turned down the project.
