The film easily beat out the latest Muppets installment, which earned $16.5 million in its first weekend, figures from Exhibitor Relations showed.
Tina Fey, Ty Burrell and Ricky Gervais star in a European adventure in which a Russian-accented Kermit look-alike takes the Muppet gang for a ride.
Coming in third was animated film "Mr Peabody & Sherman," based on characters from the 1960s television cartoon "Rocky and Bullwinkle." Slipping from last week's first-place spot, the film earned $11.7 million in its third weekend.
Ancient Greece fantasy-action movie "300: Rise of an Empire," the gory follow-up to the 2007 hit "300," landed in fourth with $8.67 million.
In its first weekend in theaters, the religiously themed "God's Not Dead," which tells the story of a college freshman who debates with his atheist philosophy professor, debuted in fifth place with $8.56 million.
And fast-paced, car-chase action movie "Need for Speed," inspired by the videogame of the same name, earned $7.8 million, falling from third to sixth.
Wes Anderson's quirky "The Grand Budapest Hotel" climbed one spot to seventh with just under $6.8 million.
And eighth place went to "Non-Stop," the Liam Neeson action movie set on a long-haul flight. The film added another $6.3 million to its total earnings.
Falling to ninth was hit animated film "The Lego Movie," inspired by the children's toy building blocks, which took in $4.1 million.
And rounding out the top 10 with $3.1 million was "The Single Moms Club," the latest offering from prolific actor-director Tyler Perry, about five struggling mothers who set aside their differences to bond in a support group.
