'Freddy vs. Jason' remains No. 1

A weak batch of new movies made easy prey for Freddy vs. Jason, which took in $13.45-million to remain the No. 1 weekend flick, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Freddy vs. Jason, a blood feud between the villains of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th, was the first movie to retain the top spot for two straight weekends since X2: X-Men United in early May.

The best debut among new movies was for Jackie Chan's action comedy The Medallion, which opened in fifth place with $8.2-million. Ashton Kutcher's romantic comedy My Boss's Daughter opened in 10th place with $5-million.

The Lisa Kudrow-Damon Wayans comedy Marci X, which sat for more than a year on Paramount's shelves, opened with a dismal $865,000.

Duo Floetry, rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott and newcomer Heather Headley took home the most awards at the 2003 Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.

Floetry was honored for best single by a group, Say Yes, and best album by a group for Floetic, as well as best new group.

Elliott won twice, in best song of the year and best music video for Work It.

Headley's He Is won best new solo artist, and her album This is Who I Am was named the best solo effort of the year.

Other winners included Dorinda Clark-Cole for best gospel album and Erykah Badu for solo single with Love of my Life.

Saturday's ceremony was held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California.
