The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has topped the UK box office for the third consecutive weekend.
The superhero sequel, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, earned £1.9 million to secure first place ahead of romantic comedy The Other Woman (£1.4 million).
Amazing Spider-Man 2 has now earned £19.7 million from its three-week cinema run.
Pompeii and Tarzan, both new releases, debuted at numbers three and four respectively. Paul WS Anderson’s 3D disaster epic pulled in £1.1 million, while Tarzan earned £800,000.
Rio 2 rounds out the top five with £460,000, taking its UK total to £12.4 million after five weeks on release. Transcendence is this week’s biggest faller, dropping fives places to number eight.
Elsewhere, Seth Rogen and Zac Efron’s Bad Neighbours – which opened on Saturday, May 3 – earned more than £2 million over the weekend but will officially chart next week.
The comedy is expected to easily secure the number one spot with the benefit of a 9-day ‘opening’.
