'Tangled' topples 'King's Speech' at UK BO

Disney's Tangled has ended The King's Speech's three-week reign at the top of the UK box office.

Featuring the voice talents of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, Tangled retells the classic Rapunzel fairytale and is Disney's 50th animated feature film.

Tangled's impressive £5.1 million opening haul pushes Colin Firth's royal drama - which earned £3.6 million - down into second spot. Ballet thriller Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, is in third place with £2.5 million.

Jason Statham's latest action movie The Mechanic lands at number four on its first weekend on release, while comedy-drama The Dilemma completes the top five.

Elsewhere, the chart sees new releases Hereafter and How Do You Know bow at numbers seven and ten respectively.
