Wed 31 Oct 11:20 AM

Ratatouille topped the British box office charts again last week.

The animated film about a rat working in the kitchen of a French restaurant took £3.6m, well ahead of Saw IV in second with £2.5m, and enough to secure the number one spot for a third consecutive week.

Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer slipped to third with Stardust, which took £2.3m, well ahead of Eastern Promises, David Cronenberg's violent Russian Mafia thriller, which had receipts of just £623,000.

Political thriller Rendition rounded out the top five, netting just over half a million.

The biggest film in the top ten, though, is still Simon Pegg's Run Fat Boy Run, which has now earned more than £10m in UK cinemas in the eight weeks since its release.
