It's an unchanged top three at the UK box office as Thor, Fast & Furious 5: Rio Heist and Insidious all hold on to their positions from last week, with Marvel's Thor retaining the crown with £1.95m to push its two-week total to £9.5m. Meanwhile the latest installment in the street racer-turned-heist flick series Fast & Furious adds £1.61m to give it a cumulative gross of £14.3m (making it the highest earner in the top ten) with Insidious dropping just 9% in its second weekend and banking £3.87m to date. Moving on to the newcomers and the Robert Pattinson / Reese Witherspoon romantic drama Water for Elephants takes fourth with £1.27m, one place ahead of Saoirse Ronan action thriller Hanna, which debuts with £1.14m. Rom-com Something Borrowed enjoys a decent opening with £707k in sixth, while a £396k return and eighth-placed debut for Korean comic adaptation Priest has to be considered a disappointment.
Finally there are some familiar faces in the bottom half of the chart, with Rio and Hop falling three apiece to seventh and tenth respectively, while the Russell Brand comedy remake Arthur suffers the steepest decline as it slips four places to ninth.
