Disney’s CGI fairytale Tangled has finally knocked Harry Potter from the box office top spot in its second week of release.
The Rapunzel-inspired yarn took $21.5m during its second weekend, dwarfing Harry Potter ’s $16.7m and forcing it into second place.
Cher and Christina Aguilera glitz-fest Burlesque jumped up a spot to third with $6.1m, while Unstoppable held firm in fourth with the same. Rounding out the top five was Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal’s saucy Love And Other Drugs ($5.7m).
Meanwhile, Megamind slipped all the way from third to sixth ($5m), Due Date went up a place in seventh ($4.2m), Faster sat in eighth ($3.8m) and new opener The Warrior’s Way entered the charts in ninth with just $3m.
Rounding out the top ten, Russell Crowe’s drama The Next Three Days dropped just one place to tenth with $2.6m.
Next week, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie inject some A-list glamour into the box office with The Tourist . But where will they land?
