Are the Brits easily entertained? Do the Brits consider ABBA as their own? Is the economy so bad that escapism is rife?
These can be the only reasons for this summer’s blockbuster movie Mamma Mia being heralded as the UK’s largest grossing movie of all time. Yes, the sickly sweet, predictable story line of the movie based on the Broadway hit musical Mamma Mia has only marginally missed outselling Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s Titanic, to date but is destined to outsell it at the box office in the next few weeks.
With all the best loved Abba songs, strung together in a 90 minute cocktail of giggles, innuendos and weak lines, the movie has reached sales of £67m at the box office.
Even with its own brand of magic, J K Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone only managed to come in at number three in the movie hit parade with ticket sales of £66,995,224, closely followed other British hit movies such as Bridget Jones Diary, The Full Monty and Love, Actually starring Hugh grant.
