In the US: Vantage Point, concerning the attempted assassination of the President, told from five different perspectives, takes the US #1 spot... the "Oscar-effect" manages to nudge There Will Be Blood back into the chart, at #10 again... but there's dismal news for Be Kind Rewind, which debuts at an extremely disappointing #9.
In the UK: Be Kind Rewind does much better over here, straight in at #2... Odeon's controversial decision not to show Rambo in its cinemas possibly had a hand in its #3 placing... and Oscar-winner There Will Be Blood ("Best Actor" for Daniel Day-Lewis) helps P.T Anderson's film debut at #7.US TOP 10
