Forget about your action films and your comedies, there was only one film that drew in the huge audiences last weekend and that was The King's Speech. It totally deserves the top spot though and don't be surprised if we see it winning a few Oscars in a couple of months time.
Although it easily took the number one spot, there was some tough competition from another true life drama 127 Hours, starring James Franco, which took over £2m and landed in the runner-up position.
Little Fockers (surprisingly) and Gulliver's Travels continued to take decent money, but it was a terrible opening weekend for Nicholas Cage's new movie Season of the Witch, barely managing to scrape in £500,000. It seems the critics were right and people avoided this film in a big way!
