REUTERS: TWILIGHT TOPS UK BOX OFFICE

Reuters - the box office numbers are coming in already and Twilight is doing really well:


Teen vampire movie “Twilight” topped the British box office over the weekend, taking 2.5 million pounds and beating animation picture “Madagascar 2″ into second place, its distributor E1 Films said on Monday.

The movie, based on the bestselling novel by U.S. author Stephenie Meyer, also topped the North American box office at its opening weekend last month with ticket sales of $69.6 million, and its backers hoped the success would extend beyond the book’s core U.S. following.

According to E1, the British subsidiary of Entertainment One Group, “Twilight” was comfortably ahead of Madagascar 2 (1.8 million pounds) and “Four Christmases” (1.0 million pounds).
