In the US, National Treausure hangs on at #1... the Chipmunks overtake I Am Legend, up from #3 to #2... indie hit Juno benefits from strong word-of-mouth, moving up 4 places to #5 in its second week of release... fantasy sea monster adventure The Water Horse limps in at #6... Aliens Vs Predator 2 goes down 1 place to #7... horror musical Sweeney Todd has perplexed US audiences, heading down from #5 to #9 in only its second week... and Enchanted re-enters the chart at #10 (presumably because there weren't many any feel-good releases for Christmas in the States... bah, humbug!)
