Disney's animated1 version of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol has topped the North American box office chart in its first weekend on release.

迪斯尼动画版的查尔斯·狄更斯的作品《圣诞颂歌》北美上映第一周就冲击到票房排行榜首位。

Carrey voices a number of characters, including the miserly Scrooge (r)

However, its $31m (£18.5m) haul(用力拖拉,努力的结果) was less than some had expected it to make in cinemas in the US and Canada.

According to Disney, nearly three-quarters of A Christmas Carol's sales came from cinemas showing it in 3D.

Jim Carrey plays the miserly Scrooge in the film, which uses a hi-tech form of animation2 called motion capture.

Last week's top movie, Michael Jackson concert documentary This Is It, fell to second place in this week's rundown(报告,总结).

According to studio estimates, the film - constructed from rehearsal3(彩排,排练) footage shot shortly before the singer's death in June - made $14m (£8.3m) between Friday and Sunday.

Urban drama

That put it narrowly ahead of George Clooney's military comedy The Men Who Stare At Goats, whose $13.3m (£7.9m) takings saw it occupy third place in the chart.

Alien abduction(诱拐) thriller4 The Fourth Kind took a fitting fourth place with admissions totalling an estimated $12.5m (£7.4m).

That put it ahead of two other horror movies, Paranormal Activity at five and The Box at six.

Low-budget shocker Paranormal Activity continues to surprise the industry, its weekend takings of $8.6m (£5.1m) pushing its overall tally5 close to $100m (£59.6m).

But The Box, a supernatural(超自然的,神奇的) thriller starring Cameron Diaz, performed disappointingly, making a lacklustre(无光泽的,呆滞的) $7.9m (£4.7m) in its first weekend in cinemas.

The weekend's most impressive performer was Precious, a hard-hitting urban drama about an abused high school student.

Despite opening in just 18 cinemas in four US cities, the film - which features singer Mariah Carey in a supporting role - took a promising6 $1.8m (£1m).
