Good things come in threes, as Shrek The Third knocked Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End off the top spot this weekend. The royal ogre grossed $46.6m over the three-day period - an 86% increase after expanding to an additional 11 territories.
Pirates held on strongly to second place, generating $35.3m from 104 territories and Ocean's Thirteen was not far behind, taking $25.4m in its second weekend. Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer sits comfortably at number four, generating $25.2m in its first weekend. And Bollywood romantic comedy Jhoom Barabar Jhoom danced straight into the top 10 taking $2.8m across 17 territories, while Japanese comedy Maiko Haaaan!!! opened with a bang at home, grossing $1.8m in its first weekend.
Cop spoof Hot Fuzz re-entered the chart after opening in Germany, while Vacancy, Mr Brooks and Irina Palm also re-surfaced.
