LOS ANGELES – Liam Neeson has grounded the The Lego Movie.
The action star’s airliner thriller Non-Stop arrived in first place at the weekend box office, ending the animated film’s three-week blockade at the top spot. The film stars Neeson as a federal air marshal on a doomed flight.
Non-Stop opened with $30 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Son of God debuted closely behind Non-Stop in second place with $26.5 million. The film recounts the story of Jesus’ life using footage shot during production of the History Channel’s 10-part miniseries The Bible.
The Lego Movie, which features the voices of Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Banks as characters from the blocky toy franchise, came in third place with $21 million, bringing its total domestic haul to $209.3 million.
