Wreck-It Ralph blew away the box office competition grossing $49.1 million in its opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.

The Disney animated film tells the story of an arcade game villain (voiced by John C. Reilly) who dreams of becoming a hero.

Flight, starring Denzel Washington, also debuted this weekend and brought in $25 million to land in the No. 2 spot

In the third position was last weekend's box office winner Argo, which grossed $10.2 million. Right behind it was The Man with the Iron Fists with $8.2 million

Taken 2 only raked in $6 million, while Cloud Atlas made a disappointing $5.3 million.
