LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- "The Covenant" took top U.S. box office honors over a ho-hum film weekend, raking in $9 million in estimated gross receipts.
The critically praised "Hollywoodland" was second with slightly more than $6 million on 1,548 screens, more than 1,000 fewer than "The Covenant."
All figures are from Box Office Mojo.
"Invincible" was third with $5.78 million; "The Protector" was fourth with slightly more than $5 million in its first weekend.
"Crank" cranked out $4.8 million in receipts, good enough for fifth in its second weekend; "The Illusionist" was sixth with nearly $4.64 million; "Little Miss Sunshine" seventh with more than $4.4 million; "The Wicker Man" was a disappointing eighth with $4.12 million, dropping nearly 60 percent in its second weekend; "Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" ran ninth with an even $3 million in its sixth weekend.
Still clucking in 10th place, "Barnyard: The Original Party Animals" scratched up more than $2.58 million.
