She may have decided to take a break from acting to bring up her soon-to-be born baby but Natalie Portman’s career is skyrocketing, with her latest release No Strings Attached topping the box office.
The 29-year-old who is tipped to win a Oscar for her role as a crazed ballerina in Black Swan, has claimed the top spot at the US box office with the film co-starring Ashton Kutcher, reported Variety online.
The movie earned an estimated $20.3 million on its opening weekend.
The domestic takings almost equal the film’s production budget of $25 million and means the actress has two films in the top ten.
Her movie Black Swan is still in sixth place in the box office chart, and has grossed $83 million at the domestic box office .
No Strings Attached follows two friends, played by Kutcher and Portman, who try to maintain a purely sexual relationship with each other, even though they are falling in love.
