Digital Spy reports that Chronicle has raced straight to the top of the UK box office with an impressive £2.1M. The movie, which stars three relative unknowns in leading roles, was released two days ahead of the US on "Orange Wednesday" (Orange customers are able to obtain 2-4-1 tickets, often making it the busiest day of the week at UK cinemas). It beat off stiff competition from Journey 2: The Mysterious Island which stars big name actors Dwayne Johnson and Michael Caine as well as Man On A Ledge which features Avatar's Sam Worthington. Here are the top 10 in full.

1. (-) Chronicle - £2,193,072

2. (-) Journey 2: The Mysterious Island - £1,200,587

3. (2) The Descendants - £1,112,964

4. (1) War Horse - £889,687

5. (-) Jack and Jill - £848,814

Size ratio Gusto, were an island roughly the size of New York State! How many New York States do you reckon you'll fit into the whole of America?

And that rough translation of $3.5 million makes up 1/6 of the $22 million what it took in America despite our country being about 1/30th the size of yours so its actually performing better pound for pound here in the good old UK!

Me neither generally, but it's nice to see a good movie make some cash.
