In the UK: Avatar's still #1, having regained its position the weekend before... horror THE CRAZIES does nicely with £1.1m to debut at #3... rom-com LEAP YEAR underperforms to premiere at #7 with £728k... there's a terrible reaction to John Travolta actioner FROM PARIS WITH LOVE, which debuts at #8 with £678k... BAFTA buzz helps Colin Firth's A SINGLE MAN break into the Top 10 at #9 with £381k... and there's catastrophic news for Harrison Ford's EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES and Robert DeNiro's EVERYTHING'S FINE, which both fail to break into the Top 10 (in at 17 and 21 respectively)...
