Who says complicated, original films don't bring in the big bucks, eh? Laughing in the face of the likes of Sex And The City 2 and Prince Of Persia, Christopher Nolan's multi-layered thriller Inception has now won over audiences as well as critics by claiming over £5.9 million at the UK Box Office to steal the number one slot.

Proving ever popular, Shrek Forever After is a non-mover in second place, while R-Patz and K-Stew can do nothing to halt the slide of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which falls two places to three. Predators are still hunting Adrien Brody at four and Russell Brand is on the run from Jonah Hill in Get Him To The Greek at five.

Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl are dying a slow death as Killers falls to six, while Romain Duris' Heartbreaker is still getting pulses racing at seven. Sex And The City 2 is finally out of fashion at eight with Kristin Scott Thomas's Leaving bidding farewell to the chart at nine and new entry The Concert, starring Melanie Laurent, rounding off the top ten.
