LOS ANGELES — The gambling tale “21” took in $15.1 million to stay on top of the box office for a second weekend, leaving George Clooney’s “Leatherheads” and the family tale “Nim’s Island” to scrimmage for second place.
“Leatherheads” — a 1920s football comedy directed by Clooney, who co-stars with Renee Zellweger and John Krasinski — had a soft opening of $13.5 million, below distributor Universal’s expectations. 20th Century Fox’s “Nim’s Island” was at $13.3 million. The family adventure centers on a girl (Abigail Breslin) alone on an island and her e-mail pen pal (Jodie Foster), a shut-in author. The Associated Press
