Johnny English Reborn continues chart reign

Spy spoof Johnny English Reborn has topped the UK and Ireland box office for a second week.

The film, starring Rowan Atkinson as the hapless MI7 agent, took £3.1m over the weekend, bringing its total box office haul to £9.6m.

The 3D version of Disney classic The Lion King remained at two with £1.9m.

Paul WS Anderson's new take on The Three Musketeers starring Orlando Bloom and Milla Jovovich was the highest new entry at three.

Hugh Jackman film Real Steel, set in a future where robot boxing is a sport, came in close behind at four.

There were two other new entries in the top 10 - the remake of 1984 film Footloose came in at six, taking £460,271.

And Morgan Freeman family film Dolphin Tale, a boy's friendship with a dolphin whose tail was lost in a crab trap, entered the chart at seven.

The biggest faller on the chart was Taylor Lautner thriller Abduction which fell from four to 12, taking £148,542 - a 71% drop in box office revenue, although it was shown in around 150 cinemas less than the week previously.

Meanwhile, a Metropolitan Opera production of Anna Bolena which was broadcast to 50 cinemas around the UK and Ireland entered the chart at 13, taking £135,733 making an average £2,715 in sales per cinema.

By comparison, this week's number five film - Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - took an average £1,552 at each of the 369 cinemas it was screened.
