US: Horton a box office hit

Dr Seuss adaptation tramples rivals at North American box office, becoming biggest opening of the year.

The computer animated big screen adaptation of Dr Seuss classic Horton Hears A Who has proved a hit at the US box office.

The 20th Century Fox film took weekend sales of $45.1 million, according to Reuters, making it the biggest opening of the year so far.

Horton Hears A Who features the voices of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. Carrey voices the main character, an elephant who stumbles upon a speck which happens to be a tiny planet, home to a city called Who-ville. Carell is the mayor of the city.

Fox said that Horton Hears A Who ranks as the fifth biggest G-rated opening ever; the top spot is held by Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo.

The film is due to open in UK cinemas on Friday March 21st.
