U.K. box office: another win for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’A quick look at the U.K. box office -- I’m busy actually checking out the cinema scene (among other scenes) in London. Slumdog Millionaire continues to kick box office ass here: 1. Slumdog Millionaire: £2.6 million (4th week; drops 16%) (actual numbers, not estimates) While some of the numbers for the top films aren’t that great -- a take of only £700,000 is enough for the chihuahua movie to get into the top 5 -- overall box office in the U.K. is mirroring the trend in North America: it’s up 3 percent over last year. Slumdog’s cumulative take is edging up on £15 million, which it will easily pass this coming weekend even if it takes a 50 percent drop, which seems unlikely. Then again, the weather has been awful here this week, with much of the country ready to get walloped again by more snow -- it’ll be interesting to see if that impacts box-office receipts for the upcoming weekend.

MaryAnn,
I am an Indian student based currently in Dallas. I follow your website and the reviews thoroughly and enjoy them very much.
Since you are based in NY, I would like you to watch an India movie named Dev.D which releases today. I think you will find it really interesting. It is directed by one of India's most promising directors named Anurag Kashyap (who directed Black Friday and No Smoking).
I am attaching the trailer for the movie. If you like it, please give it a try. I am sure you wont be disappointed.
