Cowboys & Aliens

Cowboys & Aliens

The Smurfs have been left a little blue after learning their hit family film didn't quite have the pulling power at the U.S. box office to share the top spot at the weekend (29-31Jul11).
 
Initial estimates suggested the film had tied for the number one slot with action blockbuster Cowboys & Aliens - but official figures have the little blue men in second place.
 
Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig's film have edged ahead, claiming $1 million (£625,000) more than The Smurfs at the U.S. box office.
 
Cowboys & Aliens romped to the top of the charts with a $36.4 million (£22.8 million) opening weekend take.

Cowboys and Aliens is just one of a host of Daniel Craig projects this year as he has also completed work on Dream House with Rachel Weisz.

He has also lent his voice to new Steven Spielberg movie The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn and will also star in David Fincher's American version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
