Adam Sandler’s “Click” led the national box office estimates for the weekend. Since 1997, Sandler has managed to open around $40 million in every movie his starred in except the abominable “Little Nicky.”

Though “Waist Deep,” which stars Tyrese Gibson, was well behind the No. 1 movie with just over $9 million, it exceeded the target of distributor Focus Films and was a huge hit in the 1,000-plus theaters it opened in with African-American moviegoers.
