The Inbetweeners Movie is now the fastest-grossing live action comedy in UK box office history

The Inbetweeners Movie comfortably held off competition to stay at the top of the UK and Ireland box office chart.

The spin-off from the E4 comedy series £5.7m made in its second weekend, raising its total income to £25.9m.

The film is now the fastest-grossing live action comedy in UK box office history, ahead of The Hangover: Part II which took £21.01m in two weekends.

The adaptation of David Nicholls' bestselling novel One Day starring Anne Hathaway opened at two with £2.2m.

That figure included £745,461 taken from early previews.

Prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes fell one place to three with £1.7m, while The Smurfs held firm at four with £1.5m

There were two other new entries in the Top 10, including the fifth instalment of horror franchise Final Destination at five.

The latest attempt to bring Robert E Howard's Conan The Barbarian to the big screen opened at eight with a disappointing £622,268, including £207,470 from previews.

Sci-fi western Cowboys & Aliens was at six, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II at seven.

The final instalment in the fantasy series made £765,191 over the weekend, bringing its total takings in the UK and Ireland to £70.6m.

Family films Spy Kids: All The Time In The World and Mr Popper's Penguins completed this week's Top 10.
