In the US, a Hannah Montana concert film (also presented in 3-D) wowed teeny-boppers, nabbing #1 from Jessica Alba's latest -- J-Horror remake The Eye... rom-com 27 Dresses is showing signs of staying power, holding firm at #3... Meet The Spartans remains bewilderingly popular... Rambo isn't doing Rocky-style business for Sly, down from #2 to #5 in its second week... Cloverfield takes a massive drop from #4 to #9 in only its third week (signifying audiences think it has limited appeal once you know what the monster looks like)... and Oscar-contender There Will Be Blood drops one place to #10 in only its second week, which is an outrage against cinema!

In the UK, monster camcorder thriller Cloverfield draws big crowds to grab #1... Sweeney Todd pulls in decent audiences to take #2... Eva Longoria's supernatural comedy Over Her Dead Body proves the Desperate Housewife has her fans, in at #3... kooky fairy tale Penelope debuts surprisingly high at #4...
