Hancock in second place with $33 million.

'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' took the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend with $35.9 million, studio estimates showed.  

The superhero flick from Universal Pictures stars Ron Perlman as the red devilish defender whose team fights against rebellious creatures in an attempt to save the world. Selma Blair plays Hellboy's sexy sidekick as the two struggle to save Earth from destruction.

The lighthearted superhero flick 'Hancock,' starring box office heavyweight Will Smith, dropped to second with $33 million, studio estimates showed. 

Coming in third with $20.6 million was the action-adventure film 'Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D.' The Warner Bros film stars Brendan Fraser as a science professor who embarks on a quest to find out what happened to his missing brother. During the journey with his nephew and their mountain guide, he discovers a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth.

Pixar and Disney's animated robot love story 'WALL-E' finished fourth with an estimated $18.5 million. The movie's main character, WALL-E, is a mobile trash compactor in the year 2700 who meets a sleek search robot named EVE. The two develop a romance and embark on an adventurous journey across the universe with a cast of characters including a pet cockroach and a heroic team of misfit robots. 

In the fifth position was 'Wanted,' an action-packed thriller by Universal Pictures that earned an estimated $11.6 million. The movie stars Angelina Jolie, whose sexy character recruits a neurotic account manager (James McAvoy) into a secret society and trains him to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his secret assassin powers.

Eddie Murphy's new comedy 'Meet Dave' debuted in seventh place for the weekend with just $5.3 million, estimates showed.
