"The Book of Life" draws on Mexican art and wooden puppets to animate a colorful love story rooted in the Mexican Day of the Dead festivities. It follows childhood friends Manolo (Diego Luna), Joaquin (Channing Tatum) and Maria (Zoe Saldana).
The movie is a co-production of Reel FX Creative Studios and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc's Twentieth Century Fox studios. The production cost $50 million.
Fox also released "Gone Girl", the big-screen book adaptation that stars Affleck as a writer who becomes a suspect when his wife disappears. The movie has collected $107.1 million domestically since its Oct 3 debut.
Walt Disney Co family film "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" came in fourth, earning $12 million, while newly released romance "The Best of Me" finished in fifth.
Based on a Nicholas Spark book, "The Best of Me" stars James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan as high school sweethearts who reunite years later. Released by privately held Relativity Media, it took in $10.2 million, missing Boxofficemojo's projection of an opening of around $15 million.
A Relatively representative said the firm was confident the film would do well in the coming weeks, "given its word of mouth and strong CinemaScore."
