Grown Ups

Grown Ups

Grown Ups has toppled Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables to be the number one movie at the UK box office this week.

The film too just over £2 million this weekend to hold off the challenge from Edgar Wright's new movie Scott Pilgrim vs The World, which opened at number two.

Grown Ups brings together an impressive comedy cast of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James and Rob Schneider and they are joined by Salma Hayek and Maria Bello.

Five friends and former teammates reunite years later to honour the passing of their childhood basketball coach.

With their wives and kids in tow, they spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together at the lake house where they celebrated their championship years earlier.

Picking up where they left off, they discover why growing older doesn't mean growing up.

Despite struggling at the U.S. box office Scott Pilgrim vs The World opened at number two here in the UK as it took over £1.6 million in it's opening weekend, pushing Toy Story 3 down into third.

The latest Pixar movie passed through the $1 billion barrier earlier this week and joined Avatar, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's Chest, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and Alice In Wonderland as the biggest grossing movies of all time.

Toy Story 3 has spent six weeks on the UK chart and has taken over £67 million in this country alone in that time.

The Expendables spent just a week at the top of the chart and fell three places to this week's number four while Salt was down three as it rounded off the top five.

There was also a two place drop for Piranha 3D at number six which Christopher Nolan's Inception dropped just one place to number seven in it's seventh week on the chart.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid was another new entry at number nine as was Avatar at number nine. James Cameron has re-released the biggest grossing movie of all time with an extra nine minutes of unseen footage.

Marmaduke was this week's biggest faller at number ten as it dropped five places from last week's number five.
