weekend box office

Limitless Wins, Lincoln Lawyer Loses

Bradley Cooper will nurse his breakup wounds with lots and lots of cash. His new film Limitless won the top box office spot, taking in $19.2 million. Animated flick Rango held fast in the top five, coming in at second place with a $15.2 million take. After three weeks, the surprise hit has brought in $92.6 million. In its second week, Aaron Eckhart’s Battle: Los Angeles took in $14.6 million, for a two-week total of $60.6. There was some bad news, too: Despite offering a first-of-its-kind Groupon promotion for reduced-priced tickets — not to mention positive critical reviews — Matthew McConaughey’s The Lincoln Lawyer battled for fourth place with the sci-fi stoner alien comedy Paul. (The official fourth and fifth positions won’t be decided until the weekend’s officially over).
