Super 8 is about a group of friends who witness a train crash, which in turn results in some strange goings on in their small town. The young friends then decide to investigate what is causing the oddness. The movie is set in 1979 and was written and directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg.

 

Although the income for Super 8 is lower than that of recent weekends, it is a much better figure than was expected. Super 8 is due for release to a UK audience on August 5, where it is now expected to do extremely well at the UK box office.
