LOS ANGELES — Movie-goers went hunting for their inner caveman as they sat in the dark for the prehistoric adventure "10,000 B.C.," which led the weekend box office with $35.7 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The Warner Bros. visual effects spectacle, which follows a band of people struggling to survive amid woolly mammoths, saber toothed tigers and human marauders, also took in $25.3 million in 20 overseas markets where it began rolling out Wednesday.

Opening in second place was Disney's Martin Lawrence comedy "College Road Trip," which pulled in $14 million.

Both movies put in decent numbers despite bad reviews.

"10,000 B.C." came in well behind the openings of past blockbusters from director Roland Emmerich such as "Independence Day."
