The Social Network

The Social Network

The Social Network has remained at the top of the U.S. box office, holding off tough competition from comedy Life As We Know It.

Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield star in the The Social Network, which tells the story of how Facebook was developed.

The movie took a further $15.5 million to stay in the number one spot for a second week.

Katherine Heigl teams up with Josh Duhamel for comedy Life As We Know It, which opened at number two having battled closely for the top spot.

Holly Berenson (Katherine Heigl) is an up-and-coming caterer and Eric Messer (Josh Duhamel) is a promising network sports director.

After a disastrous first date, the only thing they have in common is their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie.

But when they suddenly become all Sophie has in the world, Holly and Messer are forced to put their differences aside. Juggling career ambitions and competing social calendars, they'll have to find some common ground while living under one roof.

There was a second new entry in at three in the form of Secretariat, which sees Diane Lane join forces with John Malkovich.

Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'Hoole was down two places from two to number four while My Soul To Take 3D was the third new entry in the top five at five.

The Town was down two places at six while Wall Street: Money Never Sleep also fell this week as it was down four places from three to number seven.

There was a three place drop for Easy A while Case 39 was the final new entry of the week in at number nine. This week's biggest faller came in the form of You Again, which was down four places at number ten.
