It was all change at the top of the U.S. box office this week as The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader toppled Tangled.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is the third movie in the Narnia franchise, took $24.5 million in its opening weekend to comfortably take the top spot from Tangled as well as see off the competition from The Tourist.
Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader.
Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.
The movie sees Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley and Skandar Keynes return to the roles of Caspian, Lucy and Edmund and they are joined by Will Poulter.
Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie had to settle for second as The Tourist opened at number two this week.
Tangled fell two places to number three and Harry Potter and the Deathly - Part 1 was also down two to number four.
Unstoppable rounded of the top five as it fell once place from last week’s number four.
Black Swan is the third and final new entry inside the top ten this week as it opened at number six. The movie sees Darren Aronofsky back in the director’s chair.
Natalie Portman takes the lead role and the film has already tipped for award success over the coming weeks.
Burlesque is one of the week’s biggest fallers as it dropped four places from three to seven while Love & Other Drugs also fell three places to number eight.
Due Date dropped two places to number nine and Megamind was another four place faller as it rounded off the top ten.
