Captain America took the number 1 spot at the US box office this weekend, moving Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 to second place. With an estimated weekend take of $65.8 million, Captain America may have had the biggest superhero movie opening this year (currently held by Thor).
Next weekend's big genre release is Cowboys & Aliens. The Smurfs and Crazy, Stupid, Love also open next week, and with Captain America being well received, it may be a bit too crowded for Cowboys & Aliens to succeed next weekend. Here are the top ten box office results for this weekend:
1. Captain America: The First Avenger - $65,827,000
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - $48,065,000

4. Transformers: Dark of the Moon - $12,000,000
5. Horrible Bosses - $11,720,000
6. Zookeeper - $8,700,000
