Box Office Information 24th-26th August 2007

Picture the scene: you are out celebrating your promotion at work, you have a few drinks, you dance a little, you have some more drinks and you meet a guy who is more than willing to come back to yours. Then bam - 8 weeks later you discover you are pregnant! This is the premise of the first new entry into the chart this weekend - Knocked Up (Universal) - which opened in 2nd place having taken £1.6m. Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl and relative newcomer Seth Rogen star as Alison and Ben who, after a drunken one night stand, end up having to spend more time with one another than they originally planned as they face 8 months of getting to know one another. Alison struggles to keep her pregnancy a secret from her colleagues at the E! network (despite almost throwing up over James Franco) whilst Ben has to decide whether his unborn child is more important than his bong and website highlighting the naked film scenes of various celebrities. Better than a sex ed class in school!

Matt Damon is still kicking some serious CIA butt in The Bourne Ultimatum (Universal) which remains at the top of the chart having taken £12.9m to date, whilst Tucker and Chan remain in 3rd place with Rush Hour 3 (Entertainment), which has taken £9.2m. The Simpsons Movie (20th Century Fox) is still reigning at the summer box office with £35.8m, whilst Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix (Warner Bros.) is still king of the summer box office having taken £47.5 and remaining the highest grossing film of the year to date.

The second new entry into the chart is Heyy Babyy (Eros), which opened in 10th place with £229k. Inspired by Three Men and A Baby, and filmed in Australia, Mumbai and France, this Bollywood production is a comedy caper which forces three bachelors into parenthood, however they all decide to fight for custody of the same baby.

The last new entry into the chart is Pascale Ferran's adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley (Artificial Eye), in which Lady Chatterley (marina Hands) is rescued from a tedious life with her crippled war veteran husband by her gamekeeper Parkin (Jean-Louis Coullo'ch). No Sean Bean this time unfortunately!

Interesting film fact of the day: Anne Hathaway, Kate Bosworth and Jennifer Love Hewitt were all considered for the role of Alison Scott in Knocked Up before Katherine Heigl was given the role.
