The Vow has topped the Australian box office in its first week at the cinema.

In third place is Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, originally released in 1999 but now reworked as a 3D motion picture. This is followed by last week's number one Chronicle, a Josh Trank-directed sci-fi film which tells the story of three high school friends who discover they have superpowers.
George Clooney's The Descendants, which took $785,038 in box office sales, drops down from second to fifth place in the list, closely followed by new Rachael Taylor and Josh Lawson comedy Any Questions for Ben? with $608,731 made in ticket sales.
