Thor

Thor continues to reign over the U.S. box office as it took a further $34.5 million to hold off the competition from Bridesmaids.

The latest Marvel movie, which is making a star out of leading man Chris Hemsworth, is proving to be a hit with both audiences and critics.

Bridesmaids, which is being called the female The Hangover, had to settle for second as it took $22.4 million in it's opening weekend.

The movie stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Bryne and is directed by Paul Feig, who has directed The Office and Mad Men.

Picked as her best friend's maid of honour, lovelorn and broke Annie looks to bluff her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals with an oddball group of bridesmaids.

Fast Five dropped just a single place to three while Priest, which sees Paul Bettany return to the big screen, was new at four.

Animation Rio stayed put at five while Jumping The Broom was down two spots to number six.

Something Borrowed was this week's biggest fallers as it was down three at seven while Water For Elephants fell two from six to eight.

Madea'a Big Happy Family was another two place faller at nine while Soul Surfer stayed put to round off the top ten.
