The Vow has topped the Australian box office in its second week at the cinema.
The romantic movie, starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams, took almost $2 million in ticket sales, closely followed by new entry This Means War with $1,955,381.
Denzel Washington's Safe House falls down into third place, while the revamped 3D version of 1999 movie Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace drops into fourth spot.
New entry The Grey, which tells the story of an Alaskan oil-drilling team struggling to survive after a plane crash, took $785,722 in box office sales, followed by Josh Trank's sci-fi film Chronicle, which made $763,752.
Australia's two home-grown comedies - Rachael Taylor and Josh Lawson's Any Questions for Ben? and Xavier Samuel and Olivia Newton-John's A Few Best Men - both left the top ten chart for the first time this week since their releases.
