Ben Affleck learned not to mess with Liam Neeson this past weekend as Taken 2 held onto the box office title for the second weekend in a row, keeping Argo and several other new releases at bay. The sequel dropped 55% to earn another $22 million, while Argo pulled in approximately $20 mil. Scott Derrickson’s Sinister also had a solid opening for a low budget horror flick with $18 million, although it may drop considerably next weekend going up against Paranormal Activity 4. Hotel Transylvania and Here Comes the Boom rounded out the top 5. Elsewhere, Seven Psychopaths opened in ninth place with a pretty lacklustre $4.2 million, while moviegoers shrugged over Atlas Shrugged: Part II, leaving it with just $1.7 million on over 1000 screens. I guess all the Ayn Rand supporters were too busy campaigning for Mitt Romney?
