The buddy-cop comedy Ride Along, starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, dominated the weekend box office, blowing fellow newcomer Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit out of the water.

Click through this weekend's box office gallery to see who made it to the top ten this week!

Predicted to only take in $28 million, people connected to the comedy chemistry between Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, as their buddy cop comedy Ride Along raked in over $41.2 million dollars during the 3-day Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, making it the biggest MLK weekend release ever.

Mark Wahlberg's gritty war drama managed to keep its hold near the top, snagging $23.2 million and bringing its total to $74 million. Before the weekend began, Lone Survivor won the Critics' Choice Award for best action film, and Wahlberg won for Best Actor in an Action Movie.

Despite coming in third, the animated film The Nut Job was a big winner this weekend, earning $20.6 million. It was the first animated picture produced by Open Road Films, and ended up earning the record for the biggest opening for an animated feature film not produced by a major studio.

With a softer opening than expected, the new Jack Ryan film managed to earn $17.2 million, putting it in fourth place in its debut. Chris Pine, best known for playing the iconic Captain Kirk in the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, is the fourth actor to play Ryan. Alec Baldwin played Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, while Harrison Ford took over the role for Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. In 2002, Ben Affleck portrayed the character in The Sum Of All Fears. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit had the lowest-earning opening weekend of all the Jack Ryan films.

Disney's powerhouse animated film Frozen, which many believe is on track to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, took in another $11.9 million, bringing its domestic total to $332.6 million, making it the highest-grossing Disney animated film of all time.

This critical darling took in another $10.6 million, bringing its total to $116.4 million.

This relatively-low budget found-footage horror film, in the vein of Paranormal Activity, managed to bring in $8.5 million, surpassing its $7 million dollar budget. However, with a debut in 7th place, and a relatively low weekend total, it underperformed compared to many other films in its genre that have been released in the last few years.

Nominated for several major awards, and sporting a massive ensemble cast, August: Osage County brought in another $7.5 million, bringing its total to $18.1 million.

Leonardo DiCaprio's debaucherous biopic nearly tied with August: Osage County, bring in $7.5 million. The Martin Scorsese-helmed film has earned a total of $90.2 million since it's Christmas Day release.

Rounding out the list, Tom Hanks' Saving Mr. Banks may have been snubbed by the Oscars, but it's critical and commercial success has been apparent. It nabbed $4.1 million this weekend, bringing its total to $75.3 overall, against a $35 million production budget.
