Oz The Great and Powerful

Oz The Great and Powerful

The box office success of Oz The Great and Powerful continues as it has held onto the #1 spot in the U.S.

The Sam Raimi directed movie has made it a second week at number one as it took a further $42.2 million to comfortably hold off the competition.

The highest new entry came in the form of The Call, starring Halle Berry, which was in at number two.

But The Call was a long way behind the epic fantasy film as it took $17.1 million in its opening weekend.

Comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, which stars Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, was also a new entry at three.

Former number one Jack The Giant Slayer fell two places this week to number four while Identity Thief was also down two at five.

Snitch fell out of the top five this week as it dropped a single place to six while 21 and Over was also down one at seven.

There was no move for Silver Linings Playbook at number eight as American audiences continue to enjoy Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar winning central performance.

Safe Haven was down two at nine while Escape From Planet Earth fell a single place to round off the top ten.
