WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: American Sniper dominates the chart for a second weekend, grossing 64.4 million on a very leggy 30 percent drop. A genuine phenom, Clint Eastwood's pic already closes in on a quarter-billion dollars in worldwide sales. The Boy Next Door is a distand secound at 15 million...but that's fine against a 4 million budget.And it's actually Jennifer Lopez's best opening in years.  Paddington shows with 12.4 million on a 35 percent drop that's not bad, given that last weeekend was a holiday weekend.  Big European receipts make this a decent hit.  The Wedding Ringer drops 44 percent from its debut to gross 11.6 million, and will likely profit in theaters, though not by much.  Taken 3 rounds out the Top Five with 7.6 million on another big 48 percent drop; again, this is likely to profit in theaters, but the real margin will come overseas.  Below the fold, The Imitation Game holds strong in 6th, actually increasing its take over last weekend, while the debuts for Strange Magic and Mortdecai flop into 7th and 9th, respectively. Ouch and Ouch.
