Here's what I could gather for the UK from BFI's statistical yearbooks:1. The Avengers £50.9 million*2. The Dark Knight £48.8 million3. Spider-Man 3 £33.5 million4. The Incredibles £32.0 million5. Spider-Man £28.6 million6. Spider-Man 2 £26.4 million7. Hancock £24.4 million8. Iron Man 2 £21.2 million9. X2 £20.7 million10. Batman Forever £20.0 million*=still in releasePretty sure it's complete though I'm not sure if Batman Forever is truly in 10th place because data from pre-2002 is pretty hard to come by.

Batman may very well have the lead again in the UK by the end of summer.

[Darth Homer]

It'll be close. The Olympics will cut into it's legs.

[Heretic]

I don't think it'll have much of an effect. People who want to see it will at one time or another.
