Despite some ropey looking effects, Rise of the Planet of the Apes has landed in the number one spot at the UK box office this week. There has been good word of mouth surrounding this film, so it seems a good story does beat an iffy CGI chimp!
Somehow, The Smurfs took the number two position. I'm blaming the school holidays and parents struggling to know what to do with their children, so packing them off to the cinema to watch stuff like this. The Deathly Hallows is beginning to slow down, but still managed to make another £1.5m over the weekend, taking it's total to more than £66m!
Disappointing opening for J.J.Abrams Super 8 which has had a very positive critical response and yet failed to attract a massive audience. Hopefully this will prove to be a slow burner.
