'Slumdog' breaks through $200m barrier

'Slumdog Millionaire' has smashed the $200m (€157m) mark in global box office takings - making a mammoth $185m (€145m) profit since its release.

The film, directed by Danny Boyle, has been given a huge box office boost since it swept the board at the Oscars in February, winning eight out of the ten Academy Awards it was nominated for.
