Inexplicably, American audiences are flocking to Rush Hour 3 despite very bad reviews, and it seems there are just as many deluded fans of Mr Bean in America, with Rowan Atkinson's silent creation taking #4! It's also a big disaster story for Nicole Kidman's sci-fi flick The Invasion thisn week -- as it drops to #10 after just a few weeks of release!

Here in the UK, it seems we want action over comedy, as Knocked Up fails to bump Bourne from #1, and Rush Hour 3 rides high at #3. Bratz and Surf's Up languish around the bottom, as The Simpsons and Harry Potter bubble around at mid-table. Oh, and Heyy Babyy is a Bollywood remake of Three Men & A Baby, if you were wondering!
