Box office blog: 'Game' is a winner

Years removed from Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Kindergarten Cop" and Vin Diesel in "The Pacifier," audiences are still happy to see a huge mass of muscle taking care of a kid. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's "The Game Plan," a Disney comedy about a football star looking after the daughter he never knew he had, took the top spot at the box office over the weekend with $22.7 million. That means considerably more people wanted to see something derivative and escapist than a serious political thriller, as "The Kingdom" earned $17.7 million to place No. 2. Last week's champ, "Resident Evil: Extinction," fell to No. 3 with $8 million. The only other major opener, "Feast of Love," starved for attention with $1.8 million to come in at No. 11. Is The Rock now officially a movie star? Did you take a trip to "The Kingdom"? Will next week's Ben Stiller comedy, "The Heartbreak Kid," be funny or stupid?
