"Chihuahua", which is about a spoiled Beverly Hills dog's incredible journey back home after she is accidentally lost in Mexico, took in US$17.5 million in the United States and Canada this weekend, good enough for another top place and a two-week total of US$52.4 million in sales, according to box office tracking firm Media By Numbers Sunday.

Sony/Screen Gems' new release "Quarantine" was in second place with US$14.2 million over the three-day period. The low-budget horror film tells a story about a Los Angeles apartment house with its residents being turned into zombies by a contagion.

Warner Bros.' "Body of Lies" debuted close behind with US$13.1 million. The movie, directed by British director Ridley Scott and starred by Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, is about a CIA agent trying to uncover a major terrorist operation in Jordan but doesn't know who he can trust.

Rounding out the top five are Dreamworks' thriller "Eagle Eye" and Sony's comedy drama "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," with 11 million and US$6.5 million respectively over the weekend.
