With only two new films in wide release this weekend and in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, North American box office totals fell to their lowest level this year. Last week's number one film THE MUSKETEER, with primary visual effects by Das Werk, slipped two places to land at number three, adding $5.3M for $17.6M total to date. JEEPERS CREEPERS, with primary visual effects by E=MC2 and Max Ink Cafe LLC, continued its downward slide coming in seventh with $3.9M and $29.7M total. Maintaining their places in the top ten, RUSH HOUR 2, with primary visual effects by Cinesite, has upped its gross to $211.4 with a weekend take of $4.4M for sixth place and RAT RACE, with animated opening titles by Wild Brain, stayed in eighth earning $3.6M raising its cume to $47.8M.
