‘Skyfall’ retains UK box office top spot

Skyfall has topped the UK box office for the second consecutive weekend.

New release Silent Hill: Revelation charts at number three, while Hotel Transylvania and Taken 2 round out the top five.

Fun Size, the Nickelodeon-produced comedy starring Victoria Justice, bows at number six with £410,028.
