(I-Newswire) July 27, 2005 - LOS ANGELES� The New Line Cinema comedy Wedding Crashers continued its remarkably successful run at the domestic box office this past weekend as the film earned an additional $25.6 million to push its cumulative gross to $80.3 million in its first 10 days of release.

The staying power of Wedding Crashers has stood out in the summer's crowded marketplace as its second weekend in release saw the film drop just 23% from its debut weekend performance - this marks the smallest drop of any film in the top 10. The film, which was budgeted at just $40 million, also had the highest per-theater average of any film in the top 10, earning $8,774 per theater.

The outrageous comedy Wedding Crashers stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as divorce mediators and lifelong friends who have never met a wedding they couldn't get themselves into. Guided by a secret set of wedding crashing "rules," the pair find their way into a different wedding and different bridesmaid's heart every week. But when they crash the social event of the season, one of them falls for the engaged daughter (Rachel McAdams) of an influential and eccentric politician (Christopher Walken) and decides to break the "rules" in pursuit of her. This leads to a wild weekend at her family's palatial estate where the ultimate "Crashers" quickly find themselves in way over their heads. The film is directed by David Dobkin.
