Remember the Alamo? Seems plenty of people have and decided not to flood the theatres to watch another retelling of the 1836 standoff between Texans and the Mexican army. That battle ended without either side claiming victory and the film, which was expected to dominate the box office this holiday weekend, ended up living up to the battle it was based on by tying for third place with the far less marketed �Johnson Family Vacation�. Both films brought in an estimated $9.2 million each.
The Rock had a solid debut last week with �Walking Tall�, which landed at No. 2, the film was walking less tall this week, dropping down to 5th place with $8.3 million in sales.
