Last week's top earner, "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," took in $22.8 million, for a $158.4 million total in three weeks in theaters.
The animated movie about the hazards of industrialized society, featuring the voices of Danny DeVito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift, set a record two weeks ago for the highest non-sequel animated film debut with $70.2 million.
Third place went to critically panned Disney feature "John Carter," based on books by "Tarzan" author Edgar Rice Burroughs. The film, about an ex-Civil War soldier magically transported to Mars, earned $13.5 million.
"Project X," a coarse comedy about a high school party that gets out of control, came in fourth place with $4 million.
In fifth came the Eddie Murphy comedy "A Thousand Words," which earned $3.8 million.
"Act of Valor," a war film starring active duty US Navy SEALs, was in sixth place with $3.7 million in receipts.
CIA-based thriller "Safe House," starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, kept its seventh spot with $2.8 million in weekend receipts.
In eighth was "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," a family-friendly 3D adventure starring former wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, earning $2.5 million.
Will Ferrell's outlandish comedy "Casa de mi Padre," cashed in $2.2 million to land in ninth for its debut weekend.
Rounding out the top 10 was "This Means War," a romantic action-comedy starring Reese Witherspoon, with $2.1 million.
