LOS ANGELES - In a surprise box office win, Roland Emmerich's World War I epic"Midway" took down the competition in North America to land in first place with US$17.5 million.

Though"Midway" arrived ahead of tracking, the US$100 million film still has a long and arduous journey ahead to achieve profitability. Emmerich's tale enlisted Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson, Luke Evans and Nick Jonas to bring the Battle of Midway to the big screen for a new generation. Older males represented 60% of"Midway's"opening weekend crowd.However, moviegoers seemed more enthusiastic about"Midway," giving it an A CinemaScore, while"Doctor Sleep" landed a B+.

The PG-film, which was produced for a modest US$30 million, stars John Cena as an elite firefighter who prepares his crew for their most challenging job yet: babysitting.
