Three new films appear in the top five this weekend but neither Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Duplicity, or Lesbian Vampire Killers had enough appeal to wrestle Marley & Me from the number one position. The canine comedy retained it's spot with a weekend gross of £2,166,270, and has now pulled in over £8m in less than two weeks.
The new releases meant that Watchmen, Gran Torino, Slumdog Millionaire (Danny Boyle's Ocsar-winner having now passed the £30m mark on home soil), The Young Victoria, and Bolt all dropped three places, while violent British biopic Bronson managed to cling on to tenth spot at the expense of Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Unborn, and Hotel For Dogs.

Nicholas Cage sci-fi thriller Knowing currently sits atop the U.S. box office and will hope to repeat that success when it opens here in the U.K. on Wednesday.
Meanwhile sports fans have plenty to enjoy with the release of The Damned United - an account of football legend Brian Clough's doomed spell as manager of Leeds United - along with documentary Tyson, which sees a limited cinema release.
