It may have taken in only $9 million, but Paramount's Disturbia remained at the top of the box office for the third week in a row over the weekend. Analysts were checking record books attempting to discover when -- if ever -- a film had pulled off a box-office hat trick with such little revenue in its third week. It was the lowest take for a No. 1 film since The Covenant last September, a month that studios generally write off because kids are returning to school. Disney's The Invisible, which had received little advance publicity, had generated little buzz, and was not screened for critics, finished in second place with $7.7 million -- the best of three debuts. which also included Next with $7.1 million and The Condemned with $3.8 million. The total box office was down 31 percent from the comparable week a year ago. However, all that is due to change with the release of Spider-Man 3 on Friday. The top ten films over the weekend, according to final figures compiled by Media by Numbers (figures in parentheses represent total gross to date): 1. Disturbia, Paramount, $9,023,835, 3 Wks.
