SINGAPORE - AH BOYS TO MEN (新兵正传) displays strong staying power as it holds on to No. 1. The film grosses another US$977,287 and scores a screen average of US$25,718 - numbers that any Hollywood blockbuster film would be envious of in their second week of release. AH BOYS has now grossed US$3,112,058 - making it the 10th biggest film of 2012.

Meanwhile, SKYFALL collects another US$479,383 for a total of US$5,110,532. It's now the 4th highest grosser of 2012 and the highest grossing James Bond film of all time in Singapore.

The Hong Kong thriller by new co-directors Longman Leung and Sunny Luk scores the second biggest opening for a Mandarin film this year, collecting a total of US$340,725 for a strong screen average of US$14,817. Only AH BOYS TO MEN opened with bigger numbers (US$1,232,895).

Also making a strong start is ARGO. The Ben Stiller directed rescue drama grossed US$306,221 for a strong screen average of US$12,249. Its total gross now stands at US$510,390 - including sneak previews from the week before.

Tim Burton's animated feature FRANKENWEENIE makes a so-so start as it collects US$108,122 from 25 screens for a screen average of US$4,325.
