In a usually slow week for the box-office with the Super Bowl dominated Sunday, Chronicle barely outlasted The Woman in Black for the tops of the box-office in a surprisingly strong field.

Here’s the top five for the weekend, which saw a 26% rise in total ticket sales compared with last year:

1. Chronicle – $22 million – Newcomer | 85%
2. The Woman in Black – $21 million – Newcomer | 62%
3. The Grey – $9.5 million (-51.5%) – Week Two | 77%
4. Big Miracle – $8.4 million – Newcomer | 71%
5. Underworld: Awakening – $5.6 million (-54.1%) – Week Three | 28%
