LOS ANGELES — “American Sniper” hit the mark with moviegoers again. The military drama starring Bradley Cooper as Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle topped the box office for a second weekend in a row with $64.4 million.

“American Sniper” is up for six Academy Awards, including best picture and best actor. The total haul for the Warner Bros. film now stands at $200.1 million.

“We’ve never quite seen anything like this at this time of year,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at box-office tracker Rentrak.

In a distant second place was the saucy Universal thriller “The Boy Next Door” featuring Jennifer Lopez as a teacher who engages in an affair with a younger man. The other major new releases weren’t even in the neighborhood of “The Boy Next Door.” The animated fantasy “Strange Magic” from Luscasfilm and Disney flopped in seventh place. Lionsgate’s Johnny Depp dud “Mortdecai” tanked in ninth place. The heist comedy, which also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, marks another bomb for Depp, following “Transcendence,” “The Lone Ranger,” “Dark Shadows” and “The Rum Diary.” Estimated weekend ticket sales at U.S. and Canadian theaters:

1. “American Sniper,” $64.4 million

2. “The Boy Next Door,” $15 million

3. “Paddington,” $12.4 million

4. “The Wedding Ringer,” $11.6 million

5. “Taken 3,” $7.6 million

6. “The Imitation Game,” $7.1 million

7. “Strange Magic” $5.5 million

8. “Selma,” $5.5 million
