The Judd Apatow-produced comedy Bridesmaids takes top spot at the UK box office in its opening weekend, pulling in almost £1m more than Green Lantern's debut haul from last week to take the crown with £3,445,395. Meanwhile it was further bad news for Warner Bros.' expensive superhero flop, with the Ryan Reynolds-starrer falling to third with £1.1m behind DreamWorks Animation sequel Kung Fu Panda 2. Moving further on in the chart, the Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher slips one place to fourth and is the only other film in the chart to have reached the seven figure mark this past weekend. Meanwhile The Hangover Part II, X-Men: First Class, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Senna and Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules each fall one spot as a result of Bridesmaids' arrival, with fellow newcomer Double Dhamaal propping up the chart in tenth with £117,285.
