Gary Oldman's spy thriller pulls in £1 million to hold off competition from Twilight star Taylor Lautner's new movie Abduction to secure top spot.

Three other new releases make the top ten this week, with Helen Mirren's The Debt bowing at number five, Shark Night 3D at six and What's Your Number? charting at nine.
Kirsten Dunst and Lars von Trier's critically acclaimed Melancholia fails to dent the top ten.
