Four new films, including the star-packed "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/483367/moviemain.jhtml"]Cloud Atlas[/url]," couldn't withstand the positive buzz around Ben Affleck and his newest film "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/480760/moviemain.jhtml"]Argo[/url]." After two weekends in second place, the international thriller clinched the top spot at the box office with a modest $12.4 million, adding to a now $60.8 million total.

"Cloud Atlas," the ambitious film from the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer, disappointed with a $9.4 million take, only good enough for a third place finish, behind the persistent "Hotel Transylvania," which added $9.5 million to its impressive $130.4 million total.

The two other debuts, "Fun Size" and "Chasing Mavericks," fell completely flat. The Victoria Justice vehicle managed to pull in just over $4 million, and the Gerard Butler surfing movie managed just over $2 million.
