Dolphin Tale

Dolphin Tale

Dolphin Tale has jumped up two places to take the number one spot at the U.S. box office this week.

Directed by Charles Martin Smith that family movie brings together an all star cast that includes Harry Connick Jr, Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman.

The movie follows the friendship between a boy and a dolphin whose tail was lost in a crab trap.

It opened last week at number three but has climbed to the top of the box office taking $14.2 million.

There was no change at number two as Brad Pitt's Moneyball stayed up while last week's number one The Lion King 3D fell two places to number three.

50/50, which stars Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen,  is the first new entry inside the top ten this week at number four.

Courageous and Dream House were also new at five and six while abduction fell three places to this week's number seven.

Comedy What's Your Number was the fourth and final entry inside the top ten this week at number eight.

Contagion was down three at nine but Killer Elite was this week's biggest faller as it dropped five places to round off the top ten.
