Directed by Brett Ratner, it stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

"To do (nearly) $200 million in August is an incredible thing," New Line distribution president David Tuckerman said Sunday morning. "I think it's wonderful!"

Universal's R rated youth appeal comedy hit sequel American Pie 2 slid two pegs to third place in its fourth week with a still sweet ESTIMATED $11.41 million at 3,114 theaters (-43 theaters; $3,665 per theater). (For three days it did an ESTIMATED $8.61 million). Pie 2, which cost about $30 million to make, has a cume of approximately $125.3 million, heading for $140 million in domestic theaters.

Directed by J B Rogers, it stars Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas and Eugene Levy.

"I would never have imagined that at this juncture we'd be doing that much business," Universal distribution president Nikki Rocco said Sunday morning.

Asked why Pie 2 continues to do so well, Rocco replied, "Teen-agers (17 and over) like it. Repeat (business). It became the college choice. At this time of the year, kids love that."

Looking back at the summer, Rocco noted, "We've had an incredible summer. We're celebrating our success. It's been incredible for Universal. We couldn't ask for anything more."

Dimension Films' PG-13 thriller The Others held on to fourth place, widening again in its fourth week and still looking good with an ESTIMATED $9.0 million at 2,716 theaters (+280 theaters; $3,313 per theater). (For three days it did an ESTIMATED $7.8 million). Others, which cost only $17 million to make, has a cume of approximately $58.8 million, heading for $70-75 million in domestic theaters.

Directed by Alejandro Amenabar, it stars Nicole Kidman.

"This is terrific," David Kaminow, senior vice president, marketing for Dimension's parent company Miramax Films, said Sunday morning.

"Every summer seems to produce one or two sleeper hit surprises and I'd say The Others for this summer qualifies as one of those. With the minimal drops from week to week, it's obviously pleasing an audience. I think you can't play down the fact that it is a PG-13 rated movie that is appealing to a younger set because it's a thriller and it's a little scary and it's appealing to an older audience because it is a sophisticated story that is intelligent. And those were few and far between this summer. I think it really spanned the moviegoing audience demographically this summer."

Paramount's PG-13 comedy Rat Race, which was fifth last week, tied for fourth place in its third week with an okay ESTIMATED $9.0 million at 2,551 theaters (theater count unchanged; $3,528 per theater). (For three days it did an ESTIMATED $7.14 million). Its cume is approximately $37.7 million.
