Superbad was too good for the competition in its second weekend as the Sony comedy held on to top spot following a modest 46% drop and added an estimated $18m for $68.6m.
Despite a wave of new films the top three was familiar, as Universal's spy thriller The Bourne Ultimatum and New Line's buddy movie Rush Hour 3 swapped places from last weekend in a neck-and-neck race for second.
Bourne added $12.4m following a 38% fall for $185.1m after four weekends and Rush Hour 3 took $12.3m after dropping 43% for $109m after three respectively.
The best of the new releases was Universal's comedy Mr Bean's Holiday, which opened in fourth place on $10.1m. The film, already an international hit, stars Rowan Atkinson as the bungling ingenue and follows on from the 1997 release Bean.
The film is on the cusp of crossing $200m worldwide and stands at $199.5m.
Lionsgate's War (formerly Rogue) starring Jason Statham and Jet Li as high-kicking foes opened in fifth place on $10m, while The Weinstein Company's comedy The Nanny Diaries - which opened through MGM - launched in sixth place on $7.8m.
Warner Bros' sci-fi thriller The Invasion is struggling in its second weekend, ranking 10th after grossing $3.1m for $11.5m.
