A little bit of a surprise here, The Rock managed to open the top spot this weekend with The Game Plan, squarely knocking out terror drama The Kingdom, sending Mr. Jamie "Oscar Weiner Winner" Foxx to a grueling loss at the hands of a pro wrestler.

Ouch.

You know, there wasn't much going on this weekend, but this was a much needed win for The Rock. He hasn't had a real hit since making the move from sports entertainment to real entertainment until now, and he just put Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Michael Mann on their asses.

1. The Game Plan ($22.9m)
2. The Kingdom ($17.4)
3. Resident Evil: Extinction ($8m)
4. Good Luck Chuck ($6.2)
5. 3:10 to Yuma ($4.2)

MGM's flick Feast of Love bombed with $1.7 million for 12th place, despite opening in 1200 theaters. All other films were limited screenings, including Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited which did $135k in just 2 theaters. That's pretty impressive, if you ask me.
