In the US and UK: Sex & The City reigns supreme at the box-office, with girl power toppling Indiana Jones from #1 after just a week... In the US: horror The Strangers does well to debut at #3 in blockbuster season. In the UK: not much Brit love for Harold & Kumar 2, which limps in at #6 (no surprise; the first film wasn't a hit here, and the sequel had no marketing)... and isn't it wonderful to see Martin Lawrence comedy crime Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins belly-flop in at #9 with a paltry £40,000 haul...? Yes, it is.
