Continuing to show surprising strength, the low-budget ($13 million) Save the Last Dance remained the No. 1 movie domestically for the second straight weekend, earning $15.4 million, according to a final studio count released Monday by Exhibitor Relations.

Fox's Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks, remained in second place with $11.2 million, to bring its total after five weeks to $182 million. (The film will no doubt be helped next week by Hanks' Golden Globe win Sunday night.) Remaining in third place was Steven Soderbergh's drug drama Traffic with $8.5 million. The top 12 films together earned $90.4 million, up 54 percent from the same weekend a year ago.
