Cars is back in the top spot after one week in second place
|
Animated film Cars has returned to the top of the UK and Ireland box office chart in its third week on release.
The Pixar cartoon feature took £1.3m over the weekend - £150,000 more than last week's top earner, Miami Vice.
Pirates of the Caribbean sequel Dead Man's Chest climbed to two in a chart dominated by family-friendly movies.
Lady in the Water, the latest film from Sixth Sense director M Night Shyamalan, made a lacklustre debut, entering the top 10 in ninth place.
Stinging reviews and bad word of mouth combined to see the supernatural fantasy make a disappointing £452,744 between Friday and Sunday.
The other new entries in this week's rundown were computer-animated horror comedy Monster House at four, Jack Black's wrestling caper Nacho Libre at five, and Bollywood release Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna at six.
Pirate's weekend takings of £1.3m helped swell its overall UK and Ireland haul to £46.3m.
