22 Jump Street has topped the UK box office on its first weekend on release.
The comedy, starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, debuted with an impressive £4.8 million opening to see off competition from Maleficent and X-Men: Days of Future Past and secure first place.
22 Jump Street's debut has trebled the opening of 21 Jump Street, which bowed to £1.56 million in 2012 and went on to gross over £10 million in the UK.
Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow and A Million Ways to Die in the West complete this week's top five.
Elsewhere, the D-Day 70 Years On live cinema event is a new entry at number seven ahead of Nicole Kidman's critically-panned Grace of Monaco (number nine).
