UK chart sees Simon Pegg hang on to top spot

Simon Pegg in a pair of tight running shorts seems to remains popular for UK cinemagoers this week, as Run, Fat Boy, Run has clung on to the number one spot.

The box office chart, compiled by AC Nielsen, placed period drama Atonement at number two, followed by a new entry starring Adam Sandler entitled I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry.

Slacker comedy Superbad occupied fourth place, while Matt Damon in The Bourne Ultimatum spent its sixth week in the chart - this time at number five.

Meanwhile, the second new entry in the top ten was Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, which debuted at number six. The film was previously teamed with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror as part of a double-bill when it was released in the US.

Disturbia, Knocked Up, 3:10 to Yuma and Shoot 'Em Up rounded off the chart, while next week could see the inclusion of new entries such as Michael Clayton, The Brave One and Mr Woodcock.
