The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has topped the UK cinema charts in its first weekend on release.



The superhero sequel, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, earned £9 million to see off competition from Rio 2 and Noah to lead the Bank Holiday box office.

Amazing Spider-Man 2's debut falls short of its predecessor, which earned £11 million when it opened in 2012.

Rio 2 climbed up a place from last week to number two, while Darren Aronofsky's Noah fell down a spot to number three.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, last week's chart-topper, slips down to number four just ahead of new release The Love Punch at five.

Elsewhere, Tom Hardy's one-man thriller Locke and Bollywood film 2 States are new entries at numbers nine and ten respectively.
