'Dear John' topples 'Titans' at UK Box Office

Dear John has beaten Clash Of The Titans to take the top spot at the UK box office.

The Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried romance, which topped the US charts on its release in February, pulls in almost £2 million in ticket sales to secure the number one position ahead of fantasy epic Titans and DreamWorks's How To Train Your Dragon.

Kick-Ass and the Nanny McPhee sequel round out the top five, while Roman Polanski thriller The Ghost is a new entry at number six.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's big screen directorial debut Cemetery Junction lands in seventh place with a £640,000 haul.
