'Prince Caspian' tops US box office
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian has entered the US box office chart at number one.

The second film in Disney's Narnia series, Prince Caspian took in $56 million during its first weekend on release to knock Iron Man from the top spot. However, the impressive opening is still around $10 million less than its predecessor, 2005's The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

All of last week's films dropped a place with the exception of Baby Mama, which retained its place at number five, Made of Honour, slipping from number four to six and The Visitor, climbing to number ten from number thirteen.

The top ten US box office films in full:

1. (-) The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - $56,573,000
2. (1) Iron Man - $31,200,000
3. (2) What Happens in Vegas - $13,850,000
