The film adaptation of Lemony Snicket novels has topped the North America box office chart, displacing Ocean's 12.
A Series of Unfortunate Events, starring Jim Carrey, took $30.2m (£15.5m) in its debut weekend.
Ocean's 12 fell to number two while new entry Spanglish entered the chart at number three, taking $9m (£4.6m).
A Series of Unfortunate Events also stars Scottish comedian Billy Connelly, while Carrey takes on a number of different roles in the surreal film.
The only other new entry in the top 10 was re-make, Flight of the Phoenix, at number eight, starring Dennis Quaid.
Carrey entertained crowds at the UK premiere of Lemony Snicket in London on Friday.
The actor grabbed co-star Meryl Streep and whisked her around Leicester Square.
