The early figures are in from last night's box office and it appears that HELLBOY led the competition. According to preliminary results the comic book adaptation netted approximately $8,967,500 from its Friday showings (including any midnight screenings from Thursday.) That would put the red-skinned monster hunter on track for a $25-30 million dollar opening weekend.

Second place went to The Rock's new action flick WALKING TALL which earned about $5.2 M. Disney's new animated film HOME ON THE RANGE was in third with $4.0 M and last week's champ, SCOOBY-DOO 2, grossed $3.7 M. Meanwhile, Paramount's new teen romance THE PRINCE AND ME scored an OK $3.4 M.

We'll have the preliminary weekend results when they're issued tomorrow.
