"The Scorpion King" extended his rule at the box office this weekend, coming in as the No. 1 movie for the second week running, according to movie studio estimates. Still, the action movie starring the Rock took a stunning 51 percent plunge in business compared to last weekend's ticket tally, though it did manage to pull in some $60.8 million in 10 days. "Changing Lanes" held up well in its crucial third weekend, as the Ben Affleck-Samuel L. Jackson suspense thriller was down only 19 percent from a week ago. "Life or Something Like It," a romantic comedy starring Angelina Jolie and Edward Burns, came in at third place and may show some staying power because of its date-movie status. In limited release, the revenge thriller "The Salton Sea," starring Val Kilmer, opened strongly. The Top 10 movies of the weekend are as follows:
1. "The Scorpion King," $17.6 million
2. "Changing Lanes," $9 million
3. "Life or Something Like It," $6.65 million
4. "Jason X," $6.5 million
5. "Murder by Numbers," $6.3 million
6. "The Rookie," $5.4 million
7. "Ice Age," $4.6 million
8. "Panic Room," $4.2 million
