Epic knocks Fast & Furious 6 off Number 1

By Daniel Lane

Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell and Beyonce's fantasy adventure ends Fast & Furious 6’s three week run at Number 1.

After three weeks at Number 1, Epic has knocked Fast & Furious 6 off the top of the Official Video Chart.

Based on William Joyce's children's book The Leaf Men And The Brave Good Bugs, Epic was helmed by Ice Age and Robots director Chris Wedge, and features the vocal talents of Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell and Chris O'Dowd, as well as music stars Beyonce Knowles, Steven Tyler and, um, Pitbull.

The Blue Sky Studios animated film has also gone in at Number 1 on the Official DVD and Official Blu-ray format charts, as well as the Official Children’s Video genre chart, too.

Fast & Furious 6 is down one place to Number 2 on the Official Video Chart, while Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph climbs two places to Number 3. The Jungle Book (static at Number 4) and Iron Man 3 (down two to Number 5) complete this week’s Top 5.
