‘Jeopardy’ Trumps ‘Hearts,’ ‘Kings’

Even a Harrison Ford romance couldn’t shake Paramount’s action-thriller “Double Jeopardy” out of its No. 1 position. The Ashley Judd-Tommy Lee Jones vehicle was the box-office champ for the third straight week, racking up $13.5 million. Ford’s “Random Hearts” placed second with $13 million in its opening weekend.

The George Clooney adventure, “Three Kings,” dropped from second to third in its sophomore week, grossing $12 million for a 10-day total of $32.7 million.
