In a not-so-surprising turn of events this past weekend, Race to Witch Mountain breezed past the grim Watchmen.

Dwayne Johnson is even surprised Witch Mountain is on top.

Race To Witch Mountain, held up by Disney and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson managed to come up on top with an estimated $25 Million. The Disney induced remake stars Johnson as a cab driver who picks up a couple of strange kids and gets greatly entangled in their chase away from the government and back to their spaceship. Being an overly friendly Disney kids movie, I did not see any sort of problem that it would rake in a fair amount of bank.

As for Watchmen fans, the worry continues to settle on in. Despite their slot as number 2 in this weekend’s box office, the Zack Snyder film only managed to scrape in $18 Million, already doing a lot less than what its expected to have made. With the bad word of mouth from the general public who I say saw it and didn’t understand it, the odds of this monster making its budget back does not look to be in their favor.

Finishing up with the last two releases, The Last House On The Left reeled in some audience members as it strongly held onto the third spot with $14.6 Million. Although the fates did not look kindly upon Miss March, the playboy bunny injected story that barely managed to squeeze itself into the top ten. Below are the weekend tallies.
