Denzel Washington's 2 Guns has topped the US weekend box office chart.


Washington stars alongside Mark Wahlberg in the graphic novel adaptation about a DEA agent and a naval intelligence officer who go on the run after a failed undercover drug operation.



Debuting at number one, the film earned $27.3m, knocking last week's winner The Wolverine to second spot with $21.7m.


Animated sequel The Smurfs 2 underperformed in its debut week, coming in at third place with $18.2m.


Vera Farmiga's The Conjuring dropped two spots to number four with $13.6m, while Steve Carell's Despicable Me 2 came in at number five with $10.3m in ticket sales.


Ryan Reynolds's animated flop Turbo plummeted even further from number four to number seven, earning $6.4m.


Red 2, The Heat and Pacific Rim round out the top ten.
