10,000 B.C. Tops U.K. Box Office Chart

Mythical odyssey 10,000 B.C. has left its cinematic counterparts back in the dark ages after topping the U.K. box office chart in its first week of release.

The pre-historic film, directed by Roland Emmerich, clawed in more than $3.86 million (#1.93 million), bumping last week’s (begs10Mar08) number one, Vantage Point, into second place.

The Game Plan beat off the competition to stay at number three, while Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman’s historical drama The Other Boleyn Girl drops two places to number four and The Bank Job completes the top five at five.

    It is ashame that here in the USA, 10,000 BC was knocked off 1st place by a stupid and infantile cartoon meant for children under the age of 12. It’s as bad as if 10,000 BC were knocked off by something as childish and silly as a”Spongebob” movie. It doesn’t say much for Americans movie interests to pick a cartoon over an excellent epic.
