Daniel Radcliffe's newest film, "The Woman in Black," also debuted at the box office this weekend, but it came in second place.
However, the No. 1 and No. 2 movies are close enough that the rankings could change when final numbers are released tomorrow.
Last weekend's box office topper, "The Grey," was knocked to third this weekend with $9.5 million. "Big Miracle" came in fourth, while "Underworld Awakening" rounded out the top five.
The top films of the weekend were:
1. "Chronicle," $22 million ($13 million international).
2. "The Woman in Black," $21 million.
3. "The Grey," $9.5 million ($1.4 million international).
4. "Big Miracle," $8.5 million ($300,000 international).
