Typically, Tuesday's final box office figures fell just short of Monday's studio estimates, but there were no big surprises. Remember the Titans was well out in front with $20.91-million, followed by The Exorcist in 2nd place. The horror classic took in $7.21-million, raising its re-release total to $17.67-million and thus surpassing last week's #1 film, Urban Legends: Final Cut, which fell to 4th place with a weekend take of $4.41-million and a total of $14.68-million. The only other genre film to hold a place in the Top Ten was What Lies Beneath, which took 9th place with $1.64-million, bringing its cume to $150.60-million.

Landing just below the Top Ten was Space Cowboys, which took 11th place with $1.40-million (less than $7,000 behind the 10th-ranked Beautiful); that brought the film's total up to $86.98-million. The only other genre film to earn over $1-million during the weekend was The Cell, which took 13th place, adding $1.04-million to its cume of $59.08-million.

Below are the final box office figures for the weekend.
