It was Superbowl weekend in America which is usually bad news for the box office but American Sniper still manages to bring in a good weekend gross to stay at the top.

It's third weekend at the top adds another $31.8 million to it's now massive total which is now running at $248.9 million making it by far the biggest movie of the year to date.

With Paddington staying in second place the highest new film of the week is at 3, Project Almanac, which on it's debut weekend takes $8.5 million, it is only $5,000 behind Paddington.

Also new this week is: Black and White at 4 and The loft at 10.
