Potter Tops Box Office
This week's latest blockbuster movie has been confirmed as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
It topped the UK box office on its first weekend on release.
The sixth movie in the wizard series pulled in a huge £19.7 million to take the record for the biggest opening of 2009.
However, Ice Age 3 maintains its place in the runners-up spot, while Brüno slips to number three.
The Hangover and Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen round out the top five.
The chart's only other new entry, sci-fi film Moon, lands at number eight - but with a limited UK release.
Other top ten UK films are Public Enemies in sixth place; My Sister's Keeper in seventh place with Year One at ninth and Night At The Museum 2 in at number 10.
