London - Disney's film Enchanted
was the British box office hit in the run up to Christmas,
taking £2.3m, Screen International said.
The film, which sends up trademark fairy tales by
banishing an animated princess into the real world of New York
City, has now grossed a total £6.5m.
Losing its bearings was Golden Compass, the adaptation of
the Philip Pullman book, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel
Craig, which slipped from number one spot to second place.
New at three was St Trinian's, a remake of the 1950s tale
of schoolgirl antics featuring Rupert Everett, Colin Firth and
Russell Brand.
Also new at four was the animated film Alvin and the
Chipmunks, based on the 1980s cartoon series about a group of
musical chipmunks.
Down three places from two to five was the animated Bee
Movie with Jerry Seinfeld as the voice of Barry B. Benson, a
college bee who doesn't want to become a worker.
Down three to six was Fred Claus, the story of Santa's
less saintly brother heading to the North Pole in need of cash.
New at seven was Welcome, while dropping three places from
five to eight was Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium, about a
magical toy shop.
Also falling three places from six to nine was the movie We
Own the Night, with Mark Wahlberg and Robert Duvall.
In at 10 was P.S. I Love You, starring Lisa Kudrow, about
a young widow who discovers her late husband has left her 10
messages intended to help ease her pain and start a new life.
