Box Office Charts: w/e 28 September 2007

In the US, a Resident Evil sequel takes #1, proving audiences would rather watch zombies get slaughtered than Jessica Alba try and be funny in new comedy Good Luck Chuck, in at #2. Eastern Promises and Sydney White perform badly mid-chart, while summer blockbuster Bourne is now dwindling. D-War's turkey status is sealed as it drops to #10 after just a few weeks.

In the UK, the Simon Pegg love-fest continues, with mediocre comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run again keeping the #1 slot! Atonement is also proving itself a big hit at #2. Chuck And Larry limps to #3, mostly through heavy marketing; but Quentin Tarantino's latest, Death Proof, is a sad sight at #6 with a paltry £407k. Western 3:10 To Yuma hangs on after its impressive opening week turned to failure 7 days later, and Shoot 'Em Up is already clinging onto #10.
