...also-ran sweepstakes, the debut of Legion edged out another battle of angels and devils, The Book of Eli, $18.2 million to $17 million. The Tooth Fairy, a PG comedy starring Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson as a killer hockey player consigned to putting cash under kids' pillows, finished a close fourth with $14.5 million. The other new release, Extraordinary Measures, with Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford, earned less than half that. This true-life story, of a father's quest to find a treatment for his two dying children, was the first theatrical feature from CBS Films. Audiences took...

Avatar then stormed back to take the Saturday crown, $17.2 million to $11.8 million, and, according to studio estimates, will easily...
There was no shame in the runner-up slot for Eli's directors, the twins Albert and Allen Hughes, or for the star, Denzel Washington, who in his first real action role enjoyed the second highest opening weekend of his career, after the 2007 American Gangster.
