A little boy wearing an "Empire Strikes Back" T-shirt was in the line that curled into a double row in the tiny lobby and a man escorted a  girl in a Princess Leia costume (including a wig that kept slipping off) and a boy in what might have been a clone trooper or Boba Fett get-up.

I was heading into "Chronicle" but it looked as if the "Star Wars" was packing them in.

It turns out "The Vow" trumped both of those movies with its No. 1 spot and Screen Gems' biggest debut, beating even "Dear John."

Both the gross and attendance are up substantially from a year ago. Here are the numbers from hollywood.com and, as always, they will be finalized on Monday:

1. "The Vow" — $41,700,000.
2. "Safe House" — $39,330,590.
3. "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" — $27,550,000.
4. "Phantom Menace" — $23,000,000.
5. "Chronicle" — $12,300,000.
6. "The Woman in Black" — $10,300,000.
7. "The Grey" — $5,080,000.
8. "Big Miracle" — $3,860,730.
9. "The Descendants" — $3,500,000.
10. "Underworld: Awakening" — $2,500,000.
