Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince still reigns over the UK box office grossing a further £5.1 million this weekend.

And the sixth movie in the Harry Potter franchise is the biggest movie in the UK of 2009 taking over £30 million in the fortnight it's been in cinemas, overtaking Slumdog Millionaire.

After major success at the US box office Sandra Bullock's The Proposal opened at number two. With £3.2 million it's the best opening for a Bullock movie in the UK.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs fell one place to number three, bringing it's UK gross to £25 million.

Bruno was a four while The Hangover, the surprise hit of the summer, dropped two places to round off the top five.
