'Slumdog' returns to UK BO top spot
Slumdog Milionaire has returned to the top of the UK box office over the weekend.

Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning drama climbs two places to knock Disney's Bolt from the number one spot, while Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino lands at number two.

Torino's £1.3 million weekend ticket sales makes it the most successful three-day UK haul for Eastwood. The drama has already made $138 million in the US, becoming the biggest box office hit of the legendary actor-director's five-decade career.

Elsewhere, the chart sees new entries from horror The Unborn (number three), action thriller The International (number six) and Renée Zellweger rom-com New In Town (number ten).

The UK top ten in full:

1. (3) Slumdog Millionaire - £1,676,508
2. (11) Gran Torino - £1,351,278
3. (-) The Unborn - £1,300,543
4. (1) Bolt - £1,299,199
5. (2) Confessions Of A Shopaholic - £1,290,595

8. (6) He's Just Not That Into You - £522,381
