"The Game Plan," a family comedy about a professional athlete who discovers he has a daughter from an old relationship, won over the North American box office for a second week, preliminary figures showed Sunday. The comedy, starring former pro-wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Madison Pettis as his seven-year-old daughter, took in 16.2 million dollars, according to figures from industry tracker Exhibitor Relations. Opening in second place was the Ben Stiller comedy "The Heartbreak Kid," which pulled in 14 million dollars. "The Kingdom," a thriller starring Jamie Foxx who plays an FBI agent leading the hunt for terrorists in Saudi Arabia, was in third place, pulling in 9.4 million. Fourth place, pulling in just over four million dollars, was "Resident Evil: Extinction," the latest in the gorey series of spin-offs from the popular video game, featuring flesh-eating zombies and supermodel Milla Jovovich. The weekend's two other debuts also did poorly: "The Seeker: The Dark is Rising" opened fifth at 3.7 million dollars, better than "Feel The Noise," a reggaeton dance flick produced by Jennifer Lopez which opened seventh, pulling in 3.4 million dollars. The weekend's sixth highest earner was "Good Luck Chuck," a sex comedy starring Jessica Alba, which took 3.5 million dollars. The critically acclaimed remake of western "3:10 to Yuma" was eight with three million dollars, while a pistol-packing Jodie Foster in New York revenge flick "The Brave One" came in ninth with 2.2 million dollars. "Mr. Woodcock," a low-brow comedy starring Billy Bob Thornton as a sadistic gym teacher, was in 10th place, pulling in 2.05 million dollars.
