The comedy franchise's final instalment pulled in £5.9 million to beat Fast & Furious 6 and secure first place in the UK chart.

The Hangover swan song's opening haul is significantly down from the £10 million earnings of its predecessor in 2011. The third film's total, however, is more than the £3.1 million debut gross for The Hangover in 2009.

Elsewhere in this week's chart, 3D animated movie Epic is a new entry at number three and horror The Moth Diaries bows at number seven.

Oz the Great and Powerful experienced a huge surge in ticket sales to re-enter the chart at number ten.

1. (-) The Hangover Part III - £5,964,619
2. (1) Fast & Furious 6 - £3,539,474
3. (-) Epic - £3,190,574
