Proving he's got what it takes to bring in the cash outside of "Harry Potter," Daniel Radcliffe's new movie "The Woman In Black" spooked its way atop the box office to begin the weekend of February 3-5, 2012.
The thriller/horror flick about a young lawyer and a vengeful ghost in a remote village has edged out the competition by garnering an estimated $8.1 million on opening day while projected to take $19.8 during its first weekend of release.
Making for a tightly contested battle, another newcomer nabbed itself the runner-up position, as the Josh Trank directed drama/sci-fi motion picture "Chronicle" took home $8.0 million on Friday with a predicted debut weekend take of $19.7 million.
Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated weekend totals are last week's winner "The Grey" ($9.4 million) and the Drew Barrymore/John Krasinski starring whale tale "Big Miracle" ($8 million) in third and fourth while fifth place is a stalemate between Kate Beckinsale's "Underworld: Awakening" and Katherine Heigl's "One For the Money" ($4.9 million).
