Top Popular US Films

Open Season is the first film from the Sony Pictures animation unit. An animated comedy which features Billy Connolly as the leader of a group of angry squirrels has debuted at number one at the North American box office. Open Season took an estimated $23m (£12.2m) on its opening weekend, with the comedian playing McSquizzy, who barks orders in a Scottish accent.

Kevin Costner's action thriller The Guardian entered in second place, generating $17.7m (£9.5m).

And last week's leader, Jackass: Number Two, fell to third with $14m (£7.5m).

The third new entry in the top 10 was School for Scoundrels, in fourth place.
