Abba movie Mamma Mia! is still singing at the top of the global box office chart - taking $17.5 million (GBP9.45 million) across 44 countries in the last week.
The Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan-starring musical has proved a far bigger hit outside the U.S. - grossing a total of $307 million (GBP166 million) in foreign territories to date, compared to $139 million (GBP75 million) in American movie theatres.
Will Smith's Hancock is the second biggest hit of the week, grossing $10 million (GBP5.4 million), which lifts its global total to $375 million (GBP202 million).
Wanted - starring Angelina Jolie - finished third, followed by The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
Batman movie The Dark Knight lands in fifth place - boosting its total takings at the international box office to $449 million (GBP242 million).
Add that to the $517.7 million (GBP279 million) the movie has made so far in the U.S., and The Dark Knight is close to reaching $1 billion (GBP540 million) - a figure only achieved by Titanic, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
