Dark of the Moon‘s opening surpasses the debut for Transformers in 2007 (£8.7 million) and its 2009 sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (£8.4 million).
Last week’s chart leader Bridesmaids slips to number two, but still maintains a healthy second-week gross of £2 million. Kung Fu Panda 2, Bad Teacher and new release Larry Crowne – starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts – complete the top five.
