LOS ANGELES – Disney's family comedy Beverly Hills Chihuahua, with Drew Barrymore providing the voice of the pooch, was the No. 1 flick for the second-straight weekend with $17.5 million, raising its 10-day total to $52.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The weekend's No. 2 flick – the fright film Quarantine, which debuted with $14.2 million – filled the escapism needs for the horror crowd. The Sony Screen Gems release centers on a contagion that turns an apartment building's tenants into flesh-hungry monsters.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott had to settle for third-place with their terrorism thriller Body of Lies, which had a $13.1 million debut. The Warner Bros. film centers on a CIA operative hunting the terrorist responsible for bombings around the world.

Universal's football drama The Express opened weakly. The Express (the story of Ernie Davis, the first black player to win the Heisman Trophy) came in at No. 6 with $4.7 million.

Here are the estimated weekend totals for the top 10 films.
