Oz the Great and Powerful continued to dominate at the box office this weekend, hauling in an additional $42.2 million to finish at No. 1 for the second week in a row, Box Office Mojo reports.

Though it marked a drop of about 47 percent from the film's debut weekend, the gross was more than double Oz's nearest competitor, The Call, which landed in second place on its opening weekend with earnings of $17.1 million. The thriller starring Halle Berry was followed by the weekend's other new movie, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, which flopped with earnings of $10.3 million — marking one of the lowest debuting films ever for stars Steve Carell and Jim Carrey.
