According to Box Office Mojo, LOTR is running on 216 more screens this weekend than last. This does not appear to have put it back in the top ten. I suspect a lot of repeat viewers are probably waiting for next weekend and the TT trailer.

By the way, from another item on this site, LOTR is now only $9 million behind Star Wars in unadjusted worldwide gross box office.
