Argo (Warner Bros.) managed to snag the top spot at the weekend box office in its third week of release. The fact based thriller grossed just over $12 million during the three day frame, which was enough to best three newcomers; Cloud Atlas (Warner Bros.), Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (Open Road) and Fun Size (Paramount), which landed in third, fifth and tenth place, respectively. Argo has already earned more than $60 million and looks to have staying power with moviegoers, which should help to translate into plenty of awards season attention. The number two film, Hotel Transylvania (Sony/Columbia), is also holding up very well in its fifth weekend. The animated film, featuring Adam Sandler, earned $9.5 million and its cumulative take now stands at over $130 million. The aforementioned Cloud Atlas, a nearly three hour time traveling epic, nabbed just over $9.0 million, but is playing in far fewer locations than Argo or Hotel Transylvania. As a result, the film had the highest per screen average of any entry in the top ten.
A batch of Halloween related films populated several top ten slots. In its second weekend, Paranormal Activity 4 (Paramount) landed in fourth place, with just over $8.5 million, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D earned about $8.0 million, which was good enough for fifth place, Sinister (Lionsgate/Summit), in its third weekend, captured the number eight spot, with just over $5.0 million, and finally, the new film Fun Size was dead on arrival, with about $4.0 million and a tenth place finish.
Here are the Top Ten Weekend Films (numbers are in millions):
1. Argo - $12.4
2. Hotel Transylvania - $9.5
3. Cloud Atlas - $9.4
4. Paranormal Activity 4 - $8.7
