With only an 8 per cent drop in takings for Mamma Mia! The Movie at the weekend (compared to previous weekend), the ABBA musical shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. And, incredibly, the film is now the fifth biggest movie of all time at the UK box-office! The only films to have taken more money are Titanic, the first Harry Potter, and the first and third in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Where will it end?

1. Titanic – £69.0million
