The Inbetweeners Movie retains the UK box office crown

UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 26th - Sunday 28th August 2011...

After a record-breaking opening last weekend, The Inbetweeners Movie retains the UK box office crown as it adds another £5.69m, giving it a mighty cumulative gross of £25.8m after just two weeks on screens. As a result, One Day has to settle for second place with the Anne Hathaway / Jim Sturgess romantic drama pulling in £2.2m, while Final Destination 5 takes £1.45m to claim fifth and sword and sandals reboot Conan the Barbarian manages just £622k to take eighth place.

Turning to the familiar faces, Rise of the Planet of the Apes adds another £1.66m but slips to third, while The Smurfs holds firm in fourth place and crosses the £10m mark after three weeks on screens. Jon Favreau's latest, Cowboys & Aliens, falls three places to sixth, while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 pushes its total beyond £70m in its seventh week. Moving down towards the foot of the chart and Spy Kids: All the Time in the World drops three places to ninth in its second weekend, while Mr Popper's Penguins slips two to finish up in tenth position.
