Hot Tub Time Machine has edged out Date Night to take the number one spot at the Australian box office.

Clash Of The Titans remains in third spot, while last week's number one How To Train Your Dragon drops to four and The Book Of Eli falls to five.

Indie war drama Beneath Hill 60 gets a boost up to number eight in its second week on general release.
