Screen Gems' Stomp The Yard remained on top for the second consecutive while Fox's Night At The Museum held firm in second place and crossed $200m in its fifth weekend.
Dance drama Stomp The Yard raised its tally by an estimated $13.3m to $41.6m while $13m eased Night At The Museum to a superb $205.8m running total.
Paramount's Dreamgirls climbed one place to third after expanding on to 2,214 screens in the wake of its triple award Golden Globes glory. The musical added $8.7m for $78.1m and is well on its way towards $100m.
The only new release in the top 10 was the horror remake The Hitcher starring Sean Bean. The tale of a maniacal hitch-hiker, immortalized by Rutger Hauer's performance in the 1986 original, launched in fourth place on a disappointing $8.2m.
Pan's Labyrinth, released through Picturehouse in North America, climbed nine places to seventh on $4.7m for $10.2m after four weekends. Meanwhile The Queen reaped the rewards of its best actress and screenplay Golden Globes as it shot up 15 places to ninth on $3.7m for $35.9m after 17 weekends.
Babel, another Globes success story last week following its best drama award, ranks 12th on $24m after 12 weeks.
Overall box office for the top 12 films dropped 20% against the same period last year.
