After picking up eight statuettes at this year's Academy Awards, Slumdog Millionaire returns to the U.K. top spot with a weekend gross of £1,676,508, bringing Danny Boyle's film close to £26m on home soil. Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino expanded by almost 250 screens and managed to pull in £1.35m, while last week’s No. 1, the animated comedy Bolt, dropped into 4th place.
Meanwhile The Unborn, written and directed by comic-to-movie maestro David S. Goyer, opened in 3rd place, and the week’s other two releases - The International and New in Town – came 6th and 10th respectively.
