THE BANK JOB STEALS THE NUMBER ONE BOX OFFICE SPOT
Heist movie THE BANK JOB has stolen the top spot in the U.K box office beating WILL FERRELL’s SEMI-PRO into second place.
The Jason Statham-starring film about a 1971 bank robbery covered up by the British Government took $1.9 million (£951,013), against the basketball comedy’s $1.55 million (£774,698). After two weeks in the number one spot, Jumper has plunged to number three, taking $1.52 million (£758,003).
The top five’s third new release, An Accidental Husband, is at number four, with $1.41 million (£703,631), while Oscar-winning movie Juno fell to five with $1.38 million (£690,686).
Last week’s number three movie, Rambo, plummeted to number nine. It is thought British cinema chain Odeon’s ban on screening Rambo, owing to undisclosed "commercial reasons", has considerably affected the film’s positioning.
