Captain America knocks Potter off top spot in N America
- Published
Superhero film Captain America: The First Avenger has knocked Harry Potter off the top spot in the North America box office.
It's thought Captain America made £40 million in its first weekend at the cinemas in the USA and Canada - pushing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which only made £29 million this weeked, into second place.
But despite doing so well, it's nothing compared to how well Potter did the weekend before, when it made a record-breaking £103.9 million!
Part of the Captain America movie was shot right here in the UK, in an area of Manchester which was given a special 1940s New York make-over just for the film.
The superhero first appeared in a Marvel comic way back in 1941.
