CARREY'S ELEPHANT TOPS U.S. BOX OFFICE

JIM CARREY has scored the biggest movie debut of 2008 - as an animated elephant.

Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey)rin a scene from 'Horton Hears a Who!'

The funnyman's Horton Hears A Who! has topped the U.S. box office with a $45.1 million (GBP22.5 million) opening weekend haul.

The film marks Carrey's second outing as a Dr. Seuss character - he also took the lead in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

The family film easily held off the competition at the U.S. box office; last weekend's chart-topper, 10,000 B.C., dropped to number two with a $16.4 million (GBP8.2 million) second weekend take.

Djimon Hounsou's ultimate fighting film Never Back Down debuted at three with $8.6 million (GBP4.3 million).

The new top five in America is:

1. Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!

2. 10,000 B.C.

3. Never Back Down

4. College Road Trip

5. Vantage Point
