Gellar holds US box-office top spot

Sarah Michelle Gellar's Hallowe'en scary movie The Grudge has scored another impressive week at the top of the US box office to keep Ray, the acclaimed Ray Charles biopic, from breaking in at number one.

After surprising film experts with a $40m (€31m) opening weekend a week ago, The Grudge - a remake of a Japanese cult movie called Ju-on - remained on top. The horror film has now made a total of $71.3m (€55.95m) at the US box office.
