Political thriller VANTAGE POINT has shot to the top of the box office, stealing the number one spot from heist movie THE BANK JOB.

Vantage Point, which features an all-star cast including Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker and Sigourney Weaver, has opening weekend (07-09Mar08) takings of GBP1.54 million - making it the only movie to ever debut in the U.K. box office with profits of more than GBP1 million.

Tudor drama The Other Boleyn Girl is at two with a total of GBP952,405 to date, while comedy The Game Plan is at number three with GBP770,851.

Last week's (ends02Mar08) most popular film The Bank Job slips to four, and Uma Thurman's romantic comedy The Accidental Husband rounds out the top five in fifth position. (MT/WNWCCB/TN)
