The comedy franchise's third and final instalment pulled in £2.9 million, once again leaving Fast & Furious 6 in second place with just over £2 million.

However, the third film is still significantly under-performing compared to its predecessor The Hangover Part II, which made £10 million upon its release in 2011.

3D animation Epic remained in third place with £1.9 million, while Star Trek Into Darkness overtook The Great Gatsby by a narrow margin, climbing from fifth place to fourth after four weeks on release.

The week's new entries included Robert De Niro-starring comedy The Big Wedding and British vampire thriller Byzantium, which debuted in seventh and tenth spot respectively.

1. (1) The Hangover Part III - £2,917,887
