The King's Speech: the success story continues

The King's Speech absolutely will not stop until it's an uber-hit at home!

Weekend one: £3.5m from 398 screens.
Weekend two: £4.4m from 428 screens.
Weekend three: £4.2m from 502 screens.

Its total so far in the UK: a staggering £18.3m after 17 days. That means it's already overtaken Little Fockers, Dawn Treader and Gulliver's Travels. A £30m haul is a question of when not if; how far beyond that it can go will be down to BAFTA and Oscar glory.

The weekend of 21-23 January, it beat Black Swan, which brought in a handy £2.7m from 356 screens - Fox taking an equally ballsy move as The King's distributors by opening the lesbian ballerina psycho-chiller wide.

According to Box Office Mojo, The King's Speech stands at $108m worldwide, including $59m already from the US.
