Taken 2 took the box office No. 1 spot again this week, but Kevin James’s new one Here Comes the Boom didn’t fare as well…

Ben Affleck’s Argo thrilled the box office this weekend, earning an estimated $20.1 million and snagging the No. 2 seat at the box office…

The truth-based Iranian-hostage crisis thriller surpassed the original expectations for the film, and was the biggest opening for a film starring Ben since 2003′s Daredevil.

Taken 2 defended its box office title in its second weekend in theaters, bringing in $22.2 million. But the box office didn’t bode well for Kevin James’ new comedy Here Comes The Boom, which was actually more of a bust than a boom.

The comedic flick earned $12 million and landed in fifth place, marking the worst opening in James’ big-screen career.

Ethan Hawke’s horror film Sinister snagged third place with $18.3 million, while only costing $3 million to make.
