Moviegoers remained entranced by a young wizard over the weekend, as "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" finished tops at the box office for the second straight weekend. The third installment of the blockbuster series grossed an estimated $35.1 million in the United States, bringing total revenue for the film to $158 million. Action star Vin Diesel's latest effort, "The Chronicles of Riddick," came in second place with $24.6 million amid lukewarm reviews. "Shrek 2," starring Mike Myers as the voice of the lovable green ogre, continued its sensational run with a gross of $24 million. It was a disappointing opening weekend for "The Stepford Wives," as the Nicole Kidman comedy-thriller finished fourth with $22.2 million. "Garfield: The Movie" also failed to live up to expectations. The blend of live action and animation, based on the popular comic strip, debuted in fifth spot with $21.7 million. Rounding out the top ten were: "The Day After Tomorrow" ($14.6 million); "Raising Helen" ($3.82 million); "Troy" ($3.46 million); "Saved!" ($2.55 million); and "Mean Girls" ($1.5 million).
