Tintin and the Thompson Twins in The Adventures of Tintin

The Adventures of Tintin has topped the UK box office on its debut week on release.

Steven Spielberg‘s 3D animated movie, starring Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Daniel Craig, pulls in an impressive £6.7 million to beat Paranormal Activity 3 to the top spot.

Johnny English Reborn, Contagion and The Lion King 3D take the next three positions respectively.

Ra.One, the latest movie from Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, is the chart’s second highest new entry at number six.

The big-budget action epic lands above Emma Stone’s US hit The Help and George Clooney and Ryan Gosling’s political thriller The Ides of March.
