Tom Hanks Sully drama storms US box office.


Tom Hanks' latest movie Sully has taken the lead in the North American box chart over the weekend.

The action-adventure film made $35.5m (£27m) between Friday and Sunday, according to studio estimates.

Directed by Clint Eastwood, Sully recreates the real-life 2009 'miracle on the Hudson' emergency landing.

It exceeded expectations of its first week's takings, which were around $25m (£19m), to knock the last fortnight's leader Don't Breathe into third place.

The thriller about three teenagers who burgle a house but find that its blind owner is not as helpless as he appears made $8.2m (£6m).

In second place came new opener When the Bough Breaks, which made $15m (£11m).
