The Accountant
This week Ben Affleck scores his second number one film of 2016 with The Accounts which knocks off The Girl on The Train.

Seemingly man of the moment the Oscar winning Affleck takes over at the top with a relatively low $24.7 million weekend, but still its another top film this year after superhero film Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice.

In fact strictly speaking this is his third top film of the year after the very extended cameo he had as Batman in Suicide Squad, but lets not give him too much credit.

Falling off the top after only one week is thriller The Girl on The Train, a second weekend of $11.9 million brings the films total gross to $46.5 million after 10 days of play.

Also new this week is Kevin Hart: What Now? at number 3 with $11.9 million, this is the same of The Girl on The Train and if correct after final tallies there is a tie for number 2 and 3.

Longest running film and highest total grossing film on the top 10 in America this week is Sully, 6 weeks on the chart and a total of $118.3 million.
