Scooby Doo defeats zombies

The American adventure "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" has stopped the hit British film "Shaun of the Dead" from being top of the UK box office for the second week running.

The so-called 'rom-zom-com', which is produced by the team responsible for cult comedy "Spaced", fell to third place in the chart with takings of £1.1 million.

At second place in the chart is the US smash, "50 First Dates", starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

Meanwhile "Kill Bill: Vol 2" is dominating the US box office charts. The Quentin Tarantino hit made £14 million over the weekend and with its forthcoming UK premiere it is expected to top the UK charts next week.
