Finally Liam Neeson in Taken 2 has been knocked off the top spot by one of this week’s new entries, however in a small way, the new number one cheated a little which will not make the big man very happy.
Four new films entered this week’s chart, first off going in at number nine was the critically acclaimed drama Beasts of the Southern Wild, going in at a very low number six was Tim Burton’s return to animation with Frankenweenie, hitting the number two spot - and taking less that the third in the series – was the boring Paranormal Activity 4. This week’s biggest new release was Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, however the film had a big advantage as it was released in Scotland one week earlier.
10. Brave – £176.827
9. Beasts of the Southern Wild – (NE) – £181.801
8. The Perks of Being a Wallflower – £213.091
7. Sinister – £711.918
6. Frankenweenie – (NE) – £741.683
5. Looper – £781.211
4. Hotel Transylvania – £1.023.722
3. Taken 2 – £2.264.856
2. Paranormal Activity 4 – (NE) – £2.544.701
1. Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted – (NE) – £6.030.904
