''Catch Me if You Can'' was close behind, hitting No. 5 with $11.3 million.
The oft-rescheduled comedy ''A Guy Thing,'' starring Jason Lee and Julia Stiles, earned a weak $7.1 million, debuting at No. 7. ''The Hours'' opened in additional theaters over the weekend, helping it enter the top 10 at No. 9, with $4.7 million earned.
