“The Hangover” is not the only hit movie Bradley Cooper has starred in. This weekend, Cooper proved he’s much more than the Las Vegas party character as his film “Limitless” took the top spot at the Box Office with $19 million. The movie, about a writer whose life is dramatically changed after taking a “smart pill,” has an average 64 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The animated movie “Rango,” starring Johnny Depp, continues to succeed. Another $15.3 million was made bringing the three week total to over $92 million.

Last week’s number one movie, “Battle: Los Angeles,” dropped to number three with $14.6 million. New films for the weekend including “The Lincoln Lawyer” and “Paul” rounded out the top five.

Next week, “Sucker Punch” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules” hit theaters nationwide.

1. “Limitless” -- $19.0 million
2. “Rango” -- $15.3 million
3. “Battle: Los Angeles” -- $14.6 million
4. “The Lincoln Lawyer” – $13.4 million
5. “Paul” -- $13.2 million
