Ferrell film skates to top spot

Will Ferrell's figure skating comedy, Blades of Glory, has topped the US box office, early figures show.
The film, which follows two rival ice skaters who pair up as the first ever male figure skating duo, took $33m (£16.7m) in its first three days.
The figure is more than half of the film's $60m (£30m) budget.
Last week's number one, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie TMNT, slipped to fourth place while Disney's Meet The Robinsons entered at number two.

The Robinsons, which took $25.1m (£12.7m), centres on a nerdy orphan who is whisked away to a goofy futuristic world in a time machine.
Former number one 300 took third place, adding $11.2m (£5.68m) to its takings. It has now grossed $300m (£150m) worldwide.

After a month where takings were up, the North American box office was down 13% from the same weekend last year, when animated comedy Ice Age: The Adventure was at number one.
