'Bridesmaids' steals Aus box office No.1 spot

Bridesmaids has topped the Australian box office this week.

The comedy movie, which stars Rose Byrne and Kristen Wiig, generated more than $4 million in ticket sales in its second week at the cinema and therefore knocks The Hangover Part II down to second place.

Third place goes to Super 8 with $1.568 million in box office sales, while X-Men: First Class comes in fourth. Johnny Depp's return in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides drops down one spot in the list with $1,010,343.

At number six is Oranges and Sunshine with just over half a million in ticket sales, closely followed by Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson's romantic drama Water for Elephants in seventh.

The final three spots are filled by Little White Lies, Australian-made murder story Snowtown and Hoodwinked Too! Good vs Evil.
