Matt Damon's sci-fi film took $15.9m - just $400,000 more than the Jack Black offering - to claim the top spot.

Tom Hanks's Bridge of Spies remains at three with $11.3m, while new entry The Last Witch Hunter could only make fourth with $10.8m.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is new at six with $8.2m, and Michael Fassbender's Steve Jobs jumps into the top 10 at seven with $7.2m.
