Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller's caper Tower Heist debuted in second place this weekend, earning $25.1 million in its first week out of the gate. Tower Heist's numbers are slightly less than the openings of Stiller's other comedies, including Meet the Parents ($28.6 million) and Starsky and Hutch ($28.1 million).

The holiday-themed A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas opened to disappointing numbers, with an estimated $13.07 million in box office receipts this weekend. The Kal Penn and John Cho-fronted film earned slightly less than the film's prior installment, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, which opened in 2008.

Rounding out the top five this weekend were the spooky Paranormal Activity 3 ($8.5 million) and Justin Timberlake's sci-fi flick In Time, which earned $7.7 million for a fifth place finish.
