Pink Panther
Remake Tops UK Chart
The
Pink
Panther
starring Steve Martin has beaten thriller
V for Vendetta to the top of the UK box
office chart.
The Pink
Panther, which opened in the US last month
to dire reviews, made nearly £2m in
its opening three days.
V for
Vendetta, produced by the Wachowski
brothers who made The
Matrix,
made just under £1.2m.
South
African movie Tsotsi, which won the best
foreign language film Oscar, was another
new entry at number 10.
The
film, which opened in 86 cinemas, made
£200,000 in its first three days - in
contrast, The Pink Panther opened in 403
cinemas.
Last
week's number one, The Hills Have Eyes,
slipped to number three, while Chicken
Little held firm in fourth
spot.
The Pink
Panther, which also stars singer
Beyonce
Knowles,
is a prequel to Peter Sellers' original
movie of the same name, which spawned
three sequels in the 1970s.
