The story of a hired assassin finding true love, with Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, took 1.05 million pounds over the weekend, according to Screen International.

"Sex and the City 2" with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis was down in second spot with 3D musical "Streetdance" unchanged at three.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley and Gemma Arterton in Disney's "Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time" stayed in fourth place, just above "Letters to Juliet" which fell three places to fifth with the story of a quest for love inspired by the Romeo and Juliet courtyard in Verona.

"Death at a Funeral," a remake of a British 2007 comedy, was unchanged in sixth spot with Chris Rock and Danny Glover faced with an inconvenient guest at a wake.

Seventh was the top 10's only other newcomer, "Wild Target," with Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint and Bill Nighy in the second of this week's films to involve hired guns going soft.

Family comedy "The Tooth Fairy" slipped a spot to eight while director Ridley Scott's take on the legend of Robin Hood was down at nine from eight.

"Brooklyn's Finest," with Don Cheadle, Richard Gere and Wesley Snipes in a tale of police corruption, was the week's biggest faller, slipping five places to tenth.
