UK Box Office Information
Having smashed his way into 1st place on
opening weekend last week, The Incredible Hulk (Universal) has
managed to hold on to the top spot for a second week, taking £6.3m
to date. Still the highest grossing film of the year, Indiana
Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull (Paramount) is
in 2 place, with £37.8m, whilst those sassy New York gals
have put Sex and The City (Entertainment) in 3rd place with
£23.1m).
2006s acclaimed
film Kidulthood highlighted what life is like for teenagers in
21st century West London and its sequel, Adulthood (Pathe)
takes us back there, six years on. Opening in 4th place
with £1.2m, Adulthood follows the life of the main
protagonist Sam (Noel Clarke), 24 hours after his release
from prison for killing Trife. He comes to realise however
that life on the outside isn't much better than on the inside
as he's pursued by those who haven't forgiven him for his
actions some years ago.
Opening in 7th place with £236k
is not your average "date movie"! Teeth (Momentum) follows
Dawn (Jess Weixler) - your average teenager, promoting chastity
amongst those in her school and at church. What makes her
unusual however is that she suffers from vagina dentate (a shark-tooth
lined vagina to you and me), which means that there are some unlucky
times for those men in her life who are a bit too forceful with
her. Harking back to the B-movies of the 50s, Teeth
certainly has that extra bit of bite!!
Opening the Edinburgh Film Festival
and in the West End only, John Maybury's The Edge of Love (Lionsgate)
opened in 9th place with £181k. Based around the life
of Welsh post Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) during WW2, the film
examines the relationship between him, his wife Caitlin (Sienna
Miller), his childhood love Vera (Keira Knightley) and her
soldier husband William (Cillian Murphy).
The last new entry into the chart is The
Ruins (Paramount), which opened in 10th place with £124k.
Following a group of friends backpacking around Mexico, their
vacation takes a turn for the worse when they stumble across an
archeological ruin in the jungle which holds something very evil
within it. As they say, never stray off the tourist track!
