Family extravaganza Night At The Museum continues to be an international crowd pleaser, passing the $150m mark in 39 territories and grossing more than $20m in its fourth weekend to remain rooted to the top spot. Inspirational bio-drama The Pursuit Of Happyness, starring Will Smith, was this weekend's highest new entry at number two, generating $13m after opening at number one in Australia, Italy and the UK. Heavyweight champ Rocky enters the ring again as Rocky Balboa took more than $10m this weekend and clings onto the fifth position. This weekend also sees a string of successes for new local films in their home markets: Germany's Hitler-satire Mein Fuhrer grossed $2.5m after its opening weekend in the country while Korean film Herb took $2.1m at home.
