Bad Neighbours has ended The Amazing Spider-Man 2's run at the top of the UK box office.



The comedy, starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, earned £8.4 million over an extended nine-day opening weekend to secure first place.

Bad Neighbours opened on Saturday, May 3, and with box office figures only counted from Friday to Sunday, it had the benefit of a longer stretch to rack up ticket sales.

The Other Woman dropped a place to number three, while animated sequel Rio 2 climbed up a spot to number four after boosting its weekly takings to £505,186.

Paul WS Anderson's Pompeii completes the top five.

Elsewhere, the chart sees new entries from Arnold Schwarzenegger's Sabotage and the Met Opera's live broadcast of La Cenerentola.

1. (-) Bad Neighbours - £8,446,240
2. (1) The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - £1,286,356
