Take that Oscars! Kevin Hart wins the weekend box office

Kevin Hart's "The Upside" surpassed expectations to open with $19.6 million in ticket sales according to studio estimates Sunday.

The strong performance of "The Upside" pushed Jason Momoa's "Aquaman" to second place after the aquatic superhero's three-week reign on top of the North American box office.

Over the weekend, "Aquaman" passed $1 billion worldwide.

Opening in third place was the canine adventure "A Dog's Way Home" with $11.3 million.
