Digging into “42” - Did they get their facts straight?  SB Nation Fri, 19th April 2013

The top spot for the weekend of 23rd - 25th October 2026 went to a new release. Ghosts: The Possession of Button House entered the chart straight at number one. Meanwhile, last week's box office champion, Street Fighter, had to hand over the crown and slide down to number 5. It's not all bad news, though—the movie is still drawing crowds and has now banked a very healthy lifetime gross of £4,282,556.
