Springfield's favourite family held on to the top spot as The Simpsons Movie generated $24.1m in its third week, pushing it well past the $200m mark. Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix trailed behind, taking $23.8m over the three-day period for $548.4m to date. And Disney's Ratatouille continued to prove a popular dish - the animated adventure passed $100m after taking $18.6m in its seventh week despite dropping from five territories. Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer re-entered the chart at number five and amassed $11.9m from 1,900 screens - the comic-book heroes took $3.5m in their first weekend in Spain and opened to $2m in South Korea. Bollywood hit Chak De! India and South Korean horror Return entered the top 20 this weekend along with bigger-budget studio films Rush Hour 3, The Bourne Ultimatum and Stardust.
