A biopic of Harriet Tubman that recounts her heroism during the Civil War era, "Harriet" earned a reported $11.7 million at the US box office.

"Audiences have been unanimous for their love of this film," said Focus Features distribution president Lisa Bunnell.

"[It's] the story of one woman's strength that literally changed the world we all live in today. "'Harriet' has become an event for friends and families going to see it together."

"Harriet" landed behind "Terminator: Dark Fate," "Joker," and "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil." And it should be noted that produced for $185 million, the sixth "Terminator" entry taking in just $29 million on opening weekend made it one of the year's biggest bombs.

Strong word-of-mouth from churchgoing audiences may have helped catapult "Harriet" over its rivals on Sunday.

Meanwhile, indie documentary "No Safe Spaces" featuring Dennis Prager saw success as it expanded to 11 screens. Wide release is planned for the next two weeks.
