Despite less-than-enthusiastic reviews for anything other than how Jessica Simpson fills out her Daisy Dukes, "The Dukes of Hazzard" topped the weekend box office with an estimated $30.6 million. "The Wedding Crashers" took second with $16.5 million. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" took third with $10.6 million, besting "Sky High."
