Horror-comedy Zombieland has claimed the number one spot at the US box office after its first weekend on release. The Columbia Pictures film took $25 million (£15.7 million) in its opening weekend to give star Woody Harrelson the best box office debut of his career.

Also starring Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone, the Ruben Fleischer-directed movie tells of two men trying to survive in a world overrun by the undead. Dreamworks animation Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs fell to second while a 3D reissue of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 entered the chart in third with takings of $12.5 million (£7.4 million).

Ricky Gervais' new comedy The Invention of Lying debuted in fourth after its first weekend on release while Drew Barrymore's directorial feature debut Whip It, starring Juno actress Ellen Page, tied in sixth position with Michael Moore's new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story.
