Alice In Wonderland holds on to US box office title

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland kept its place at the top of the US box office chart for a second week, taking $62m (£41m) in the last three days.

It was well ahead of Matt Damon's Iraq war movie, Green Zone, which took second spot with $14.5m (£9.6m).

Romantic movies She's Out of My League and Remember Me were hot on its heels, taking $9.6m (£6.4m) and $8.1m (£5.4m) respectively.

It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Marshal Teddy Daniels, who is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a mental health hospital.

Our Family Wedding, featuring Ugly Betty star, America Ferreira, debuted at number six ahead of James Cameron's Avatar, now at seven.

Eighth and ninth place were taken by police movies - Brooklyn's Finest, starring Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke and Don Cheadle, and comedy Cop-Out, starring Bruce Willis.

Horror movie The Crazies rounded out the top 10 - it follows the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply.
