“Invincible,” Disney’s film about an underdog football player, took the top weekend box office spot for the second time. It beat out two major new releases, “Crank” and “The Wicker Man.”

Though final numbers won’t be out until Tuesday because of the Labour Day holiday, “Invincible” took in $11.9 million U.S. in ticket sales from Friday through Sunday, according to Reuters.

The film stars Mark Wahlberg as real-life football hero Vince Papale, who earned a spot in the NFL at the ripe old age of 30.

The newly debuted “Crank” took second place, though sales numbers weren’t released by the movie’s distributor, Lionsgate. Figures from other studios determined its spot in the top 3.

Starring Britain’s Jason Stratham, the action flick follows a professional hitman after he’s injected with a poison that will kill him should his heartrate drop below a certain point.

The third spot went to another new release, Nicolas Cage’s “The Wicker Man.” Cage plays a sheriff investigating the mysterious disappearance of a girl in a pagan community. Critics haven’t been kind to the film, but it still managed to bring in $9.6 million.
