Men In Black 2 stays top in US

Tom Hanks has been outgunned by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.

Men In Black 2 was the number one movie for a second weekend in the US.

Hanks' new film Road To Perdition was second although it played in only half as many cinemas as MIB2.

The Jones and Smith sequel grossed $25 million to push its 12-day total to $133.3 million, according to studio estimates.

Road To Perdition, starring Hanks as a Depression-era hit man who's an artist with a tommy gun, took £22.1 million.

Road To Perdition already is receiving an Oscars buzz for Hanks, co-star Paul Newman and film-maker Sam Mendes.

Reign Of Fire, the Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale tale of fire-breathing dragons, opened in third place with $16 million.

Halloween: Resurrection, featuring Busta Rhymes and Jamie Lee Curtis, premiered at number four with $12.3 million.
