The Rock scores the number one box office spot!
I had a busy weekend if not I would have went to see this movie. The trailer reminds me so much of the modern verison to that Disney film, "Remember the Titians." Just imagine The Rock in "Remember the Titians"...seriously. But congratulations to former WWF wrestler The Rock for scoring the number one box office. His competition was pretty stiff but he muscled his way up {that's my speak for heavy publicity! He appeared on countdown favorities "106 & Park" and "TRL" to name a few...}
-----

"...It was another down weekend at the box office, although moviegoers helped Sony Pictures and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson score with the football flick "Gridiron Gang."
The Rock's #1!
The drama about a football team at a Los Angeles juvenile detention center took in an estimated $15 million in ticket sales to claim the top spot for the weekend. The debut gave distributor Sony its 10th top opener this year, setting an all-time industry record.

Overall, box office revenues for the top 12 films dipped 12.3 percent from the same weekend last year. That makes for two down weekends in a row, cutting into the single-digit revenue gains the studios has enjoyed so far this year.

Studio revenues are still up 6.2 percent over last year and attendance is also up 3 percent, according to box office tracker Exhibitor Relations Inc.

Despite high expectations from director Brian De Palma and a cast including Josh Hartnett and Scarlett Johansson, the gruesome murder mystery "The Black Dahlia" opened in the second spot with $10.4 million.

The film, from Universal Pictures, fared better than last week's debut of "Hollywoodland," which sank from the number two spot to ninth place this week. Both films deal with real-life Los Angeles mysteries.

Similarly, there are two football-themed films in theaters, including "Invincible," which brought in $3.9 million over the weekend for distributor Disney.

"With two L.A. noir films and two football movies, audiences may be feeling like they've seen some of this before and may not be coming out in bigger numbers," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations.

The animated film "Everyone's Hero" took in $6.2 million. The 20th Century Fox movie was originally directed by the late Christopher Reeve, and his wife Dana served as producer of the film until her death in March.

The other major film opening was Paramount's "The Last Kiss," which took in $4.7 million for fourth place.

The movie stars Zach Braff of "Scrubs" and Rachel Bilson of "The O.C."

But the weekend belonged to "The Rock," who scored his fifth No. 1 opening in his career, helping to further his reputation as an action movie star.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures will be released Monday."

I'm glad the Rock finally found something that works for him on the big screen .. I thought about seeing it, but instead opted for the fourth-place finisher, "The Last Kiss," which I enjoyed quite a bit .. It will be interesting to see how the star-studded "All the King's Men" does in a busy weekend coming up

I wish the Rock all the more success. I'm glad he had the number one movie in the country...this only means more movie roles for him.
