The Hangover Part II has topped the Australian box office by generating over $11 million in ticket sales.

The second instalment of the Bradley Cooper comedy, which takes place in Thailand, beats Johnny Depp's return as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, which took about $5 million in its second week in the chart.

Third place goes to Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson's Water for Elephants, with science fiction thriller Source Code being knocked down one spot to fourth.

Chris Hemsworth movie Thor remains at number five for the second week running, but Fast & Furious 5 falls two places to sixth.

Something Borrowed made $182,265 in box office ticket sales, closely followed by Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil with $140,442.

The last two spots in the top 10 go to gritty Australian murder film Snowtown and new entry Get Low.
