- HOLLYWOOD, May 14, 2000 – The Roman spectacle that is an embattled
Russell Crowe
in a thigh-length skirt asserted its supremacy over other spectacles at the box office once again this weekend.
For the second time in as many weeks, the loincloth-filled "Gladiator" put its competition to shame, pulling in an estimated $24.3 million, according to box-office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations Inc.
Taking the No. 2 slot was the
John Travolta
sci-fi bonanza "
Battlefield Earth
" with an estimated $12.3 million -- almost 50 percent less than the
Russell Crowe
starrer.
The rest of the Top Five couldn't even ring up double digits as far as the million-dollar mark goes. The submarine WWII actioner " "
U-571
," with $5.8 million, dropped another spot from last week to No. 3. The ballet teen flick " "
Center Stage
" debuted at No. 4 with $4.8 million, finishing in a tie with the lingering " "
The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
" and " "
Frequency
." Placing in the fifth spot was the
Natalie Portman
-
Ashley Judd
weepy "Where the Heart Is" with $3.6 million.
As for other new debuts, the
Norm MacDonald
comedy "Screwed" came in with $3.4 million at No. 6, and the new
Jamie Foxx
flick "
Held Up
" debuted (such as it was) at No. 11 with a paltry $1.1 million.
Here's a complete rundown of the weekend Top 10, according to Exhibitor Relations estimates:
