The mother-daughter comedy BECAUSE I SAID SO, starring DIANE KEATON and MANDY MOORE, took second place with $13 million (GBP6.7 million).

Last week's number one film, spoof comedy EPIC MOVIE, was knocked down to third place with $8.2 million (GBP4.2 million).

Family comedy NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM continued to perform strongly, finishing in fourth place with $6.75 million (GBP3.5 million), while gangster film SMOKIN' ACES scored fifth place with $6.3 million (GBP3.2 million).

The overall, US box office receipts were down, as many fans were preoccupied by Sunday's (04FEB07) Super Bowl championship football game.
