The Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe, slipped into
second place, with £1.9m.
Marigold Hotel features a stellar cast including Dame Judi
Dench. The movie, about a group of pensioners who travel to India, has big
appeal for an older audience, often ill-served by the film industry. Tom
Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Celia Imrie, Dame Maggie Smith, Ronald
Pickup and Slumdog Millionaire actor Dev Patel also star in the John Madden
film. The Woman in Black, an adaptation of Susan Hill's ghost story which is
also a West End stage hit, has made £17.6m at the UK box office to date.
This Means War was the highest new entry on the chart at
number three.
The action comedy, about two spies who fall in love with the
same woman, made £1.9m.
The film was directed by Terminator's McG.
Thriller
Safe House fell one place to four with £1.4m, while Disney's The Muppets also
dropped back one place to five.
