Some unknown kids with superpowers have nudged out the world's most famous teen wizard at the weekend box office.
"Chronicle," with a cast of unknowns as youths who gain telekinetic abilities, debuted as the No. 1 movie with $22 million.
Sunday studio estimates put "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe's ghost story "The Woman in Black" just behind with a $21 million opening.
Both movies packed in solid teen and early-20s crowds, Hollywood's bread-and-butter demographic that had been giving movies a pass during a box-office slump late last year.
The previous weekend's top movie, Liam Neeson's "The Grey," slipped to No. 3 with $9.5 million.
