Moviegoers were swept away this weekend by the visually stunning underground world depicted in Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which stole the number one spot at the box office, taking in an approximate $35.9 million.

Will Smith’s Hancock fell short after its heroic debut, taking in $33 million this weekend and reaching a total gross just over $165 million thus far. The remake of the 1959 film of the same name, Journey to the Center of the Earth, now starring Brendan Fraser in 3D, took the number three spot, reaching a gross of nearly $20.6 million.
