Disney's “Oz the Great and Powerful” dominated the box office in its second week, taking in an estimated $42.2 million and raising its overall domestic total to more than $145 million.
But two openers, Halle Berry's “The Call” and Steve Carell's magician comedy “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone,” provided the story line this weekend.
“The Call” was in a relatively low 2,507 theaters and the R-rated kidnap thriller still rang up an impressive $17.1 million. That's about $6 million more than analysts had projected for the kidnap drama, produced by Troika Pictures and WWE Entertainment for an estimated $13 million and distributed by Sony's TriStar.
