New Line's Blade, based on Marvel Comics' vampire-superhero, finally cut down DreamWorks' Saving Private Ryan (1998) at the box office over the weekend, earning an estimated $17 million against 10.1 million for Ryan (bringing Ryan's total over five weeks to $143 million). Three other new films, Dance with Me (1998), Dead Man on Campus (1998) and Wrongfully Accused (1998), all flopped. However, in a stunning surprise, There's Something About Mary (1998), in its sixth week, moved up a notch into third place, with earnings of about $7.9 million, bringing its total to date to $104 million, and making it one of a rare breed of films to cross the $100 million mark without ever placing first. Avengers, The (1998), meanwhile, saw its second-weekend gross plummet 66 percent to only $3.5 million, dropping out of the top ten after debuting in second place last week. The top-ten films according to studio estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:1. Blade, $17 million; 2. Saving Private Ryan (1998), $10.1 million; 3. There's Something About Mary (1998), $7.9 million; 4. How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998), $6.6 million; 5. Snake Eyes (1998), $5.1 million; 6. Dead Man on Campus (1998), $4.7 million; 7. Dance with Me (1998), $4.5 million; 7. Ever After (1998), $4.5 million; 9. Parent Trap, The (1998), $3.8 million; 10. Halloween: H20 (1998), $3.7 million. »
