Paramount's animated sequel "PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie" topped the charts this weekend and defeated new releases like Lionsgate's horror sequel "Saw X", and Disney/New Regency's sci-fi thriller "The Creator". The GameStop scandal movie "Dumb Money" expanded nationwide, but failed to attract moviegoers. Fathom Events' biopic "The Blind" however, offered a surprisingly solid performance.
Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.

"Saw X" opened in second place with $18 million from 3,262 theaters, which is below the openings of the original seven installments, but better than "Spiral" ($8.7 million) and "Jigsaw" ($16.6 million).
