Riding a wave of entirely justified great buzz, The Lego Movie topped the weekend box office with $69 million, easily outpacing fellow new wide openers The Monuments Men and Vampire Academy, which slotted second and seventh, respectively, with $22 million and $3.9 million. The inexplicably popular Ride Along pushed past the $100 million domestic mark with an additional $9.59 million, good for third place. Frozen held strong in fourth place with $6.87 million in its twelfth week of release, while Lone Survivor pulled in an additional $5.57 million, pushing its domestic total over $113 million. Rounding out the top 10 were bro-tastic comedy That Awkward Moment, with $5.24 million; the aforementioned Vampire Academy, a messy, unrewarding mash-up of different genres and clashing tonalities; animated kiddie film The Nut Job, with $3.75 million; Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, with $3.53 million; and Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin‘s peach pie commercial Labor Day, with $3.18 million.
