In the US: The teenage girls who love the best-selling novel propel teen-vampire movie TWILIGHT to box-office glory, with an amazing haul just shy of $70 million, knocking Bond down to #1 after only a week... CGI animation BOLT, about a super-dog working on a TV show who has to cope with the real world, debuts at #3 with a decent but unremarkable $26m... and WWII holocaust drama THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS doesn't have the marketing muscle to appeal to anyone but cinephiles, in at #8 with a meagre $1.6m.US TOP 10

In the UK: Bond stays at #1, having now taken an incredible £45 million at the British box office alone... Ridley Scott's BODY OF LIES can't dislodge it, or break the £1m barrier, debuting at #2... rom-com MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL is just behind at #3... and bad news for horror QUARANTINE, which fails to reflect its US success, debuting at a lowly #8.
