Disney Bolts to top of box office

[Perdita]

Disney animation Bolt has raced to the top of the UK and Ireland box office chart in its opening weekend.

The film, featuring the voice of John Travolta as a TV show dog who believes his fictional powers are real, took £2.8m in its first three days.

Fresh from its success at the Baftas, Slumdog Millionaire rose one place to number two, taking its total five week haul to £20 million.

Romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You fell one place to three.

Last week's box office winner, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, fell three places to four in its second week.

There were four other new entries in the top 10, including family film Hotel for Dogs at five.

Slasher re-make Friday the 13th, which smashed US box office records earlier in the week for an opening of a horror film, could only manage sixth place, bringing in £1.2m.

Biggie Smalls biopic Notorious opened at seven, with Pink Panther 2 at eight.

Penelope Cruz's Bafta win for her role in Vicky Christina Barcelona may have helped the film rise two spots to number nine.

While horror My Bloody Valentine rounded out the top 10.

Disney movies aren't what they used to be, back in the days of Cinderella, Pinochio, Snow White, Dumbo etc.

I agree, but even though those were all in the 30's 40's and 50's

I think the 89 and the 90's were times of great disney

But its for different gerneations and new types of annimation and all that

Disney is still always good to me and then every one and in while a great one comes along, like enchanted

TOY STORY 3 NEXT YEAR. Now that's one I can't wait for :D:D:D.

But yeah, they do not get better than the likes of The Lion King. But Pixar are pretty amazinggggggggggggg.

Totally agree. Also Jungle Book. :p That is awesome...

And now you have HSM and all that...Disney is just a money making franchise spouting out generic rubbish films. :p
