Johnny Cash stays at number one
'Walk the Line' holds onto the top spot at the London box office, while there are five new entries.
Feb 15 2006
Oscar contenders 'Walk the Line' and 'Munich' saw off all competition at the London box office this weekend, with James Mangold's Johnny Cash biopic holding onto the top spot and Steven Spielberg's controversial thriller remaining at number two.
The highest new entry was high-concept horror sequel 'Final Destination 3', while Time Out favourite 'Hidden' continues to pack the crowds in at number four.
Further down the chart, it's a veritable cornucopia of new entries, with 'Chicken Little' and 'Big Momma's House 2' coming in at five and six respectively, 'Proof' entering the chart at number eight, and the brilliant 'Lady Vengeance' making a disappointing debut at number ten.
Next week, expect only George Clooney's gripping period drama 'Good Night, and Good Luck' to trouble Johnny and June at the top of the chart.
