WEEKEND BOX-OFFICE: 'CAPTAIN AMERICA' OWNS, 'POTTER' FALLS & 'BENEFITS' STARTS SOLID

Despite being the last hero to strike, 'Captain America' delivered the best opening attendance, raking in a hefty $65.1 million this past weekend.

Although that number is just shy of the opening weekend of 'Thor' ($65.7), it did post 8 percent more attendees and bettered both 'Green Lantern' ($53.2) and 'X-Men: First Class' ($55.1).

The final installment of 'Harry Potter', on the other hand, took a 72 percent fall from its previous record-breaking weekend, yet still took in $47.4 million.

'Friends with Benefits' also got off to a solid start with $18.6 million, but still failed to up 'No Strings Attached' ($19.7), despite better critic reviews.

Rounding out the top five films were: 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' with $12 million and the ensemble comedy 'Horrible Bosses' at $11.9 million.
