Spy-themed action film GET SMART has outwitted the competition in its opening weekend, taking in over $39 million (GBP19.5million) at the U.S. box office.
The film - starring funnyman Steve Carell and actress Anne Hathaway - towered over animated comedy rival Kung Fu Panda, which remained at the number two spot with $21.7 million (GBP10.85million).
Meanwhile, comic book movie adaptation The Incredible Hulk softened its roar, sliding down to number three garnering a $21.6 million (GBP10.8million) at the box office.
The new top five is rounded off by Mike Myers' oddball spiritual-inspired comedy The Love Guru - opening at number four with $14 million (GBP7million) - and M. Night Shyamalan's new thriller The Happening, which fell from number three to five, taking in an additional $10 million (GBP5million).
