Wreck-It Ralph scores record debut for Disney

Wreck-It Ralph has landed Disney Animation Studios' highest-grossing opening weekend for an animated movie.

The film about a destructive video game character, starring John C. Reilly, has grossed $49.1 million domestically - almost twice as much as Denzel Washington's latest release Flight, in which the Oscar winner plays an alcoholic pilot.

Ben Affleck's Iranian hostage crisis drama Argo falls to third with a $10.2 million weekend take.
