It took Leatherface and his chain saw to chase tiny hobbit Bilbo Baggins out of the top spot at the weekend box office.

Lionsgate's horror sequel "Texas Chainsaw 3-D" debuted at No. 1 with $23 million, The Associated Press reports. The movie picks up where 1974's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" left off, with masked killer Leatherface on the loose again.

After three weekends at No. 1, the first film in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy slipped to third with $17.5 million, lifting its domestic total to $263.8 million.

Universal's "Les Misérables" finished at No. 4 with $16.1 million, pushing its domestic total to $103.6 million.
