'Mall Cop' Tops Box Office Again

Kevin James scored another win at the box office this weekend with his comedy 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop,' which brought in an estimated $21.5 million.

The comedy starring the former "King of Queens" star as a mild-mannered bumbling security guard had a budget of just $26 million, but has already made $64.8 million in its first two weekends in theaters.

Coming in No. 2 was the suspense thriller 'Underworld: Rise of the Lycans,' which debuted with $20.7 million, studio estimates showed. The film, starring Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy, centers on the centuries-old feud between the race of aristocratic vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans.

Finishing third, with $16 million, was Clint Eastwood's 'Gran Torino,' which stars the legendary actor as a retired auto worker who takes on gangs to protect his neighbors.

At No. 4 was the canine comedy 'Hotel for Dogs,' which made an estimated $12.4 million, followed by 'Slumdog Millionaire,' the drama about a game show contestant from the slums of Mumbai, India, which brought in $10.6 million.
