Though it had plenty of holiday weekend competition, "Shrek Forever After" has scored the top spot in box office sales for the second week in a row.

Raking in $55.7 million this weekend, "Shrek" has topped two other highly-anticipated releases- "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" at $37.8 million and "Sex and the City 2" with $37.1 million.

Adding in its opening weekend numbers, as well as international ticket sales, "Shrek Forever After" has brought in over $171.3 million so far.

Coming up this Friday, "Shrek" will have a new round of competition though, as "Get Him to the Greek" and "Killers" are both released.
