Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was toppled from the top spot last week by war movie Fury, but it has seen off some tough competition over the half-term holiday to reclaim the top spot with £1.4 million.

Horror movie Ouija was the highest new entry inside the top ten this week, as it opened at number two - despite a string of poor reviews from the critics. Fury fell two places this week from one to three.

Gone Girl was also own two places this week, while animation movie The Book of Life dropped just one spot to wrap up a very close top five.

Jake Gyllenhaal return to the big screen over the weekend with the heavily praised Nightcrawler, and it opened at number six. Timothy Spall is being tipped as an Oscar contender for his performance in the title role of Mr Turner, and it opened at number seven.

Mr Turn sees Mike Leigh return to the director's chair as he explores the last twenty-five years of painter Turner's life. The movie was met with critical acclaim when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and it is also believed to be a strong Oscar contender.

The Maze Runner was a three-place faller this week as it was down from five to eight, while family film Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day was down two at nine.

Horror movie Annabelle was this week's biggest faller, as it dropped four places fro six to round of this week's top ten.
