Dwayne Johnson's 'Race to Witch Mountain' topped the box office this weekend with $25 million in estimated earnings.

The Disney film stars Johnson as a Las Vegas cabbie who unwittingly becomes the protector of two siblings with paranormal powers (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) on the run from the government, mobsters and even extraterrestrials!

Dropping to No. 2 was the $150 million blockbuster thriller 'Watchmen,' which brought in just $18 million. The film, which centers on an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of everyday society, debuted last weekend with $55.7 million.

Finishing third was the horror flick 'The Last House on the Left,' which made its debut at $14.7 million.

The action/thriller 'Taken,' starring Liam Neeson as a former CIA agent who sets out to find his kidnapped daughter, finished fourth with $6.7 million. 'Tyler Perry's 'Madea Goes to Jail' came in fifth with $5.1 million.
