The Hangover Part II has topped the UK box office with a £10 million opening.
The comedy sequel, which sees Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms's characters head to Bangkok, welcomed impressive ticket sales thanks to a Thursday release and screenings on Bank Holiday Monday.
The Hangover Part II's £10 million total is the second highest debut of 2011, behind Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and easily outpaces the £3.1 million opening for The Hangover in 2009.
Last week's number one movie On Stranger Tides falls to second spot, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 is a new entry at three, Thor slips to number four and Fast & Furious 5 rounds out the top five.
Elsewhere, the extended Bank Holiday break proved fruitful for 3D family animation Rio, which climbs a place to number six.
The mid-week release of X-Men: First Class will provide strong competition for The Hangover Part II, with the Marvel prequel looking to claim the box office top spot this weekend.
