'Hot Fuzz' dominates UK box office

"Hot Fuzz" is a brilliant homage to the action genre, and the boys from "Spaced" show fanboys how cool it is to one, especially when you have the power of film at your hands. What success "Hot Fuzz" will prove to be in the US has yet to be seen, but out in the UK, "Hot Fuzz" is making quite a dent.

"Hot Fuzz" has held on to the number one spot in the UK Box Office for the third week in a row, even beating out the Marvel action hit "Ghost Rider," to boot, which is not doing bad in the numbers game itself.

Earning £2.2million in its third week, it's grossed a total of £15.7million, so far, as "Hot Fuzz" beat out the flaming skull flick which earned £1.85million.

Fans of the "Spaced" trio are expecting big things from the action love letter, due in theaters April 20th in the States. Though "Shaun of the Dead" was a huge hit with fans, the horror comedy fared well enough with critics, and was barely acknowledged in the box office.

There hasn't been much word on another film entry, but the "Spaced" trio has continued to branch out, with Edgar Wright taking on the adaptation of "Ant Man," while Simon Pegg continues acting in the US. Hit or not, fans will be debating the two film entries superiority for years to come.

"Hot Fuzz" is another slice of fried gold, but leave the Romero fanboys home for this one, folks.
