Maggie Smith vehicle The Lady in the Van makes tracks at the UK box office

This week at the UK box office, national treasures Smith and Alan Bennett appeal to audiences in a way Steve Jobs can't match. But Bond beats them all

It was English national treasures (Maggie Smith, Alan Bennett) v American brainiacs (Aaron Sorkin, Steve Jobs) at the UK box office this week, with the former scoring a convincing victory. The Lady in the Van opened with a very healthy 2.26m, as against 913,000 for Steve Jobs.
