Maleficent

Maleficent

Maleficent has made it a box office double, as it has taken the #1 spot in the UK.

The movie now tops both the U.S and UK charts after an impressive opening weekend for the Angelina Jolie film.

Maleficent sees Jolie take on the title role, as the famous story of Sleeping Beauty is told from a different point of view this time around.

The movie took £6.5 million in its first weekend on release in the UK, and saw off the challenge from X-Men: Days of Future Past to claim the top spot.

Days of Future Past slipped just a single place to two, as it took a further £3.5 million. The movie has already taken over $513 million at the global box office.

Edge of Tomorrow and A Million Ways to Die in the West were the other two new entries inside the top five, as they opened at three and four.

Godzilla fell three places this week from two to five. Bad Neighbours and Postman Pat: The Movie were also three place fallers at six and seven.

Blended and Rio 2 also had to make way for the three new entries, as they dropped from five and six to eight and nine this week.

Jimmy's Hall was the fourth and final new entry inside the top ten this week, as it opened at ten.

The movie marked the return of Ken Loach to the director's chair, and played at the Cannes Film Festival next month.
