Some unknown kids with superpowers are battling the actor who plays the world’s most famous teen wizard at the weekend box office.

The 20th Century Fox release “Chronicle,” featuring a relatively unknown cast as youths who gain telekinetic abilities, debuted with numbers that could make it the No. 1 movie, with an estimated $22 million.

Sunday studio estimates put “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe’s ghost story, “The Woman in Black,” just behind, with a $21 million opening.

The top two rankings could switch when final numbers are released today.

Both movies landed in the all-time top-10 list for Super Bowl weekend debuts.
