Saw 3 Cleans up over Halloween

Horror film Saw III has proved the most popular movie in North American cinemas during the weekend before Halloween, as its predecessors did in 2004 and 2005.
It took an estimated $34.3m (£18m), knocking period drama The Prestige, which took $9.6m (£5m), down to third.

Martin Scorsese's mob tale The Departed was number two for the third successive week, generating $9.8m (£5.2m).

The only other new entry in the chart was Running With Scissors, a drama about a bizarre family, at number 10.
