Returns dropped off this week overall, but the top five spots played host to three new films and two returning favorites. Limitless debuted at #1, bringing in $19 million; no candle to Battle: Los Angeles' last weekend gross, but not a bad start for the reportedly budgeted $27 million thriller in which Bradley Cooper plays a man obsessed with a drug that brings him all the success he could ever want ... or so he thinks. Meanwhile, Rango held its seat, despite only picking up $15.3 million. Johnny Depp's goofy-looking lizard remains popular enough, and having broke even worldwide looks like it may have a chance to make $100 million domestically within the next few weeks. Battle: Los Angeles also looks to be a winner, the alien actioner earned $14.6 million in week two and is making up ground on its own $70 million budget.

The rest of the board performed average to horribly lackluster: Red Riding Hood's #3 debut appears to be slipping drastically, earning only $7.2 million this week, and sci-fi romance The Adjustment Bureau did even worse, making $5.9 million. Red will need some help from the foreign market if this trend continues, help Bureau has already gotten ($72.5 million worldwide total gross). However, no market may be able to save Mars Needs Moms; with a poor debut and only $5.3 million this week, the $150 million CG film may be destined for "bomb" status. Beastly and Hall Pass came in with $3.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and may have earned derision in the press, but this weekend have managed to cover their costs domestically.
