Despite four new releases making the chart this past weekend, it's unchanged at the top as both Johnny English Reborn and The Lion King hold firm in first and second place respectively, with the Rowan Atkinson comedy sequel adding a further £3m to push its two-week total to £9.63m, while the animated Disney re-release banked £1.9m to give it £5.95m from the same timeframe. Turning to the newcomers and The Three Musketeers enjoyed the biggest opening with receipts of £1.46m to claim third, with Hugh Jackman's latest - the Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots boxing effort Real Steel - pulling in £1.34m from exactly 100 screens less to settle for fourth. Dance remake Footloose suffered a more disappointing opening, earning just £460,271 to take sixth behind Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, while Dolphin Tale was similarly lacklustre, debuting in seventh place with £429k.
Heading towards the foot of the chart, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris slips two places to eighth, while the Guillermo del Toro-produced horror remake Don't Be Afraid of the Dark falls three spots to ninth. Finally, Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive slips two places from last weekend, rounding out the chart in tenth with £178k.
Number one this time last year: Despicable Me
