Snippets
For its second week in the charts, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight (Warner Bros.) has held on to the top spot, having taken £25.4m to date, whilst the all-singing, all-dancing Mamma Mia! (Universal) is in 2nd place with £32m. Not only has the film become the second highest grossing of the year however, it has also become the highest grossing musical of all time with not a jazz hand in sight! It has been 10 years since we last saw Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) trying to convince Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) that the truth is out there and they are both back for The X-Files: I Want To Believe (20th Century Fox), which opened in 4th place with £887k. You'll find no aliens or paranormal activity in this one however Billy Connolly plays Father Joseph - a priest who has visions and is bought on to help the FBI recover an agent who has disappeared. Rap star Xzibit also stars although he isn't pimping anyone's ride this time! There is some serious monkeying around going on in 7th place as Space Chimps (Entertainment) took £564k on its opening weekend. Featuring the voices of Andy Samberg, Stanley Tucci and Jeff Daniels, we follow three mischievous chimps who are sent into space. Mike Myers returns to form as The Love Guru (Paramount) which opened in 8th place with £499k and stars Myers as the love guru Pitka who sets up a self-help business, with his first client being a professional hockey player whose wife has left him for a rival athlete played by Mr Justin Timberlake himself. Opening in 11th place is the documentary Man On Wire (icon). Taking £99k, it documents tightrope walker Philippe Petit's daring but illegal attempt to walk between the World Trade Centres in 1974. The last new entry is the Bollywood film Kuselan (Ayngaran), which opened in 12th place with £97k including previews.
CHARITY SCREENING Not such a ‘Dark Knight' at RAF Aldergrove SSVC Forces Cinemas and RAF Aldergrove teamed up to raise money for the BFBS Big Salute on Thursday 24th July with a Charity Screening of the biggest ever grossing film on opening weekend, The Dark knight! Warner Bros who continue to support the British Forces gifted the film to SSVC for 1 night only in order to raise money for the 5 worthwhile charities being supported by the Big Salute - BLESMA, Combat Stress, Headley court, St Dunstan's and Veterans Aid. In keeping with the Superhero theme everyone was invited to come dressed as their favourite character, with a great turnout and prizes for best dressed. The Wessex Cinema Team worked hard on the gate in the morning, using their superhero powers to persuade people to reach into their pockets. A great day had by all and an impressive £800+ was raised!
