Tomas Alfredson's critically acclaimed espionage thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy holds onto the UK box office crown for the second consecutive week, pulling in £2.1m to see off the challenge of newcomers Crazy, Stupid, Love and fellow Tom Hardy effort Warrior - the two new releases banking £860k and £808k to take second and third respectively. As a result, the Brit comedy The Inbetweeners Movie falls two places to fourth, while another new arrival - the actioner Drive from director Nicolas Winding Refn - claims fifth with an opening weekend £607k (and sees Ryan Gosling making his second appearance of the weekend after Crazy, Stupid, Love). Moving into the bottom half of the chart and the Mila Kunis / Justin Timberlake raunchy rom-com Friends with Benefits slips three places to sixth, one place ahead of the week's only other new entry, the action thriller Killer Elite, which stars Brits Jason Statham and Clive Owen alongside Robert De Niro. The latest adaptation of Jane Eyre falls four spots to eighth, quickly followed by The Smurfs in ninth (down three from last weekend), while comedy The Change-Up plummets from fifth place to prop up the chart in tenth.

Incoming...
The final Friday of September sees a number of films arrive in UK cinemas, with the likes of Taylor Lautner espionage thriller Abduction (cert. 12A), rom-com What's Your Number (cert. 15) and 'blood-and-bikinis' effort Shark Night 3D (cert. 15) likely to fare a little better at the box office than spy drama The Debt (cert. 15), Kevin Smith horror Red State (cert. 18) and Lars Von Trier drama Melancholia (cert. 15).
