ANGELS & DEMONS DRAWS THE CROWD AT GLOBAL BOX OFFICE

TOM HANKS' new movie ANGELS & DEMONS continues to rule the international box office chart after fending off competition from BEN STILLER's NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN.
The religious thriller, director Ron Howard's big screen adaptation of Dan Brown's book of the same name, scooped $60.4 million (£40.26 million) outside of the U.S. to claim the number one position for its second consecutive week.
Stiller's sequel has proven to be the most popular choice Stateside, taking $53.5 million (£35.7 million) over the Memorial Day weekend (22-24May09), but its pull wasn't as strong overseas and it debuted in second place with $50.1 million (£33.4 million) at the global box office.
Star Trek came in a distant third place with $11.5 million (£7.6 million), while X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Hannah Montana rounded out the top five with $7 million (£4.67 million) and $3.1 million (£2 million) respectively.
