Gone Girl’s two-week run at the top of the U.K. box office was brought to an abrupt end by a group of reptilian martial-arts experts named after Renaissance artists.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles took the crown in its opening week, earning $7.7 million compared with Gone Girl’s $3.8 million. David Fincher’s adaptation of the best-selling book, starring Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck, has now earned a total of $22.9 million in the U.K.

Last week’s second-highest-grossing film, The Maze Runner, slipped to the fourth spot with $2.4 million, while last week’s No. 3, Annabelle, retained its position, earning just $11,000 more than The Maze Runner did.
The second-highest new entry of the week was Nicholas Sparks‘ romantic drama The Best of Me, starring James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan, which claimed the fifth position, taking in $1 million.
