LOS ANGELES — "The Covenant," a tale of supernatural teens trying to destroy each other at an elite boarding school, ascended to the top of the weekend box office with a modest take of $9 million.

"The Covenant" knocked off the previous No. 1 movie, Disney's football drama "Invincible." The Mark Wahlberg flick dropped to third place.

While "The Covenant" ruled among teen moviegoers, older audiences helped "Hollywoodland" grab the No. 2 spot with its $6 million debut.

The Focus Features' drama about the 1959 death of TV's Superman, George Reeves, stars Ben Affleck as Reeves, Diane Lane as his rich mistress and Adrien Brody as a private detective investigating Reeves' death.
