Super Bowl weekend proved to be big for genre films, with both Chronicle and The Woman in Black earning over $20 million at the box office. Chronicle claims the top spot with $22 million, while The Woman in Black takes a close second with $21 million. Weekend box office results are always studio-projected estimates, so if there is a swap in the first and second spot, we'll post an update on Monday.
