Director Ridley Scott's real-life crime drama took 1.8
million pounds ($3.72 million) over the three days for a total
so far of 5.7 million, according to Screen International. Beowulf, director Robert Zemeckis' adaptation of the Old
English poem, starring Ray Winstone, took 1.4 million in its
second weekend for a 4.5 million pound total. Third, back up one after slipping last week, was
"Stardust," a fantasy adventure starring Michelle Pfeiffer and
Robert De Niro, while down one place at four was the tale of
sewer rat-turned-chef, "Ratatouille." "Good Luck Chuck," a romantic comedy with Jessica Alba and
Dane Cook, was unchanged at five. New at six was "The Darjeeling Limited," featuring Owen
Wilson and Adrien Brody heading off the beaten track in India. At seven was another newcomer, "August Rush," a romantic
melodrama featuring an orphan hero using his musical gifts to
find his parents. Horror movie "Shrooms" was new at eight while the Virgin
Queen biopic "Elizabeth" was down three at nine, just above
another horror offering "30 Days of Night" at 10, which was
also down three places. (Reporting by Steve Addison) |
