George Clooney's new football comedy fumbled at the box office this weekend.
21, the Kate Bosworth casino thriller, retained the No. 1 spot for a second week, raking in $15.1 million.
Leatherheads, co-starring Renée Zellweger and John Krasinski, debuted at No. 2 with $13.5 million.
With mixed reviews, Leatherheads attracted audiences in their 30s and 40s but failed to lure in younger crowds.
"I'm disappointed for us, I'm disappointed for George. I think he's a great guy and think he's got tons of directing talent," Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, told the Associated Press. "I wish I could have that crystal ball and tell you what went wrong."
Leatherheads almost got beat by Nim's Island, the family adventure starring Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin, which earned $13.3 million.
The complete top 5:
1. 21, $15.1 million
2. Leatherheads, $13.5 million
3. Nim's Island, $13.3 million
4. Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who, $9.1 million
5. The Ruins, $7.8 million

I'm sorry to hear that George Clooney's movie, Leatherheads, which he directed, didn't do well! Hey, it'll be in theaters for a little while, so you never know! It also sucks that the Ruins only got $7.8 million, dollars because from seeing the previews on TV, it looked good!, etc. This week, all movies will have another chance to make the most money!, etc.

21 beat Leatherheads, not Bosworth beat Clooney.
If Clooney starred in "21" & Bosworth starred in "Leatherheads", Clooney would've "beaten" Bosworth at box office.
Most folks don't go to the movies because of who's in it, they go because of the subject matter of the film & hype.
