'Wallace and Gromit' continue to rule the box office roost
Another stop-motion release, 'Tim Burton's Corpse Bride', is a new entry at number three.
Oct 25 2005
Stop-motion animation dominates the London box office this weekend. Not only has 'Wallace and Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' held on to the top spot for a second week, but 'Tim Burton's Corpse Bride' is also a new entry at number three.
And we Brits should give ourselves a pat on the back, as both films were made on this side of the Atlantic, with largely home-grown casts and crews.
Jim Jarmusch's brilliant 'Broken Flowers' comes straight in at number two, no doubt helped by Bill Murray's successful re-invention as a romantic lead.
And the new entries just keep coming, with Emma Thompson's children's fable 'Nanny McPhee' making its debut at number four, just in time for the half-term hordes.
Unfortunately, numbers five to ten aren't quite as interesting, with former TO films of the week 'A History of Violence' and 'Oliver Twist' falling to six and seven respectively, and Brit-com 'Kinky Boots' losing its footing at number ten.
Next week, expect horror sequel 'Saw II' to make an impact at the top, although our money is on 'Wallace and Gromit' defeating Jigsaw and his pals.
