Ford and Pfeiffer back on top
What Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath is at number one for a second time
What Lies Beneath, the Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer horror movie, has gone back to the top of the UK box office charts.

What Lies Beneath earned £812,000 over the 17-19 November weekend, according to official figures from Screen International.

It was enough to raise the movie - described as a pyschological chiller thriller - from its number two spot.

It is the second time it has been at number one in its five-week run and takes its overall earnings to £10.6m in Britain.

Bedazzled

Liz Hurley's Bedazzled fell to number two after one week with takings of £70,000 - £2.1m in two weeks.

Little Nicky, the latest Adam Sandler film, earned £572,000, enough to put it into third spot in the charts in its first week.

Science-fiction adventure Pitch Black fell from three to four with takings of £541, 000.

Billy Elliot continued to do well, taking £527,000 over the weekend.

The film, starring Jamie Bell and Julie Walters, lost one place, falling from four to five.

It has now earned £15m in the UK alone - the most for any film currently in the British top 15.
