The Other Woman has beaten Captain America: The Winter Soldier at the US box office.



The Cameron Diaz comedy brings the Marvel sequel's three-week run at the top of the chart to an end after taking $24.7m during its opening weekend.

Fox's senior vice president of domestic distribution Spencer Klein said: "The combination of the three actresses and a fun movie really struck a chord."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier dropped to second place, taking $16.04m on its fourth weekend.

The Chris Evans film's domestic total now stands at an impressive $224.9 million and becomes the top-grossing April release of all time in North America.

Heaven is for Real took $13.8m in third place, dropping 38.7% from last weekend. The religious film's domestic total now stands at over $50 million.

Rio 2 slipped to fourth place with $13.65m, while Paul Walker's second to last film before Fast & Furious 7, Brick Mansions, opened with $9.6m.
