In a surprising turn of events — even for people behind the movie itself — The Game Plan [1], a PG-rated family-friendly flick starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, came in at No. 1 at the box office [2] this weekend. The Disney movie far outpaced the action-war film The Kingdom [2], which took in $17.7 million and the No. 2 spot. Variety speculates [3] whether The Kingdom's weak opening is an indication of audiences' reluctance "to see films addressing the consequences of the war on terror."

Favorites from last weekend held over: Resident Evil 3: Extinction [3] came in third place with Good Luck Chuck [3] following it at No. 4. 3:10 to Yuma [3] continued to hold its own in its fourth weekend, coming in at No. 5. Feast of Love [3] didn't even make it into the top ten and brought home a slim $1.7 million.

This weekend we'll see if Ben Stiller and Co. will be breaking any hearts at the box office with The Heartbreak Kid [3].
