'Watchmen' Conquers Box Office With $55.7 Million LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Watchmen" clocked in with $55.7 million in ticket sales to claim the top spot at the box office, making director Zack Snyder's comic book adaptation about a team of twisted superheros the biggest opening of 2009 so far. Still, it was not quite as big as the $70 million take of Snyder's "300" in 2007. Dan Fellman, head of distribution for "Watchmen" studio Warner Bros., said it was unfair to compare the two films.
