Rock-solid 'Game Plan' muscles its way to top of box office
Monday, October 1st 2007, 4:00 AM
The Rock has game.
In an upset, former wrestler Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson pummeled his box office competition.
The new Disney comedy "The Game Plan," starring Johnson as a football star confronted by the 8-year-old daughter he never knew about, pulled in about $22.7 million to land at No. 1.
Universal Pictures' terrorism thriller "The Kingdom," with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner, trailed with $17.7 million in sales, surprising industry pundits who predicted it would open at the top.
Last weekend's top movie, "Resident Evil: Extinction," fell a steep 66% from its opening weekend gross, taking in $8 million to finish third.
With a PG rating, "The Game Plan" took advantage of a dry spell for kid-friendly movies.
"There was definitely pent-up demand for people who don't necessarily want to go to the heavy R-rated films," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney.
Johnson is not the first action hero to become a kid-friendly star. In 2005, Disney's Vin Diesel comedy "The Pacifier" surprised everyone by opening at No. 1 with a take of $30.6 million. And Arnold Schwarzenegger had a huge hit in 1990 with his unconventional turn in "Kindergarten Cop."
"The Kingdom," featuring Foxx and Garner as members of a U.S. team investigating a terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia, faced heavy competition from other violent R-rated films, among them "3:10 to Yuma," "The Brave One" and "Eastern Promises."

Article from NY Post: ROCK'S GOT 'GAME' AT THE BOX OFFICE
By DAN KADISON
October 1, 2007 -- Disney has a winning "Game Plan" - its family film starring Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson blitzed "The Kingdom" over the weekend to run off with the box-office title, according to studio estimates released yesterday.
The laugher about a quarterback discovering he has a young daughter grossed $22.7 million during its three-day debut.
"The Rock has now been Disney-ized," said Jeff Bock, an analyst with box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
"You take an action star, put him in a broad family comedy and you get a hit movie."
"The Kingdom" - the Middle East mission flick with Jamie Foxx - made $17.7 million for a second-place debut. The heavily marketed movie "really did crumble under The Rock's weight," said Bock. "The genre is really exhausted right now."
"Resident Evil: Extinction" dropped to third place in its second weekend with $8 million.
Meanwhile, "Good Luck Chuck" took in $6.3 million for a fourth-spot showing - while "3:10 To Yuma" boarded fifth with $4.2 million.
