Resident Evil: Afterlife has topped the UK box office on its debut weekend on release.
The latest instalment – and the first in 3D – in Milla Jovovich’s horror series takes in £1.6 million to secure first place ahead of Toy Story 3 and Grown Ups.
Last week’s box office leader The Last Exorcism drops to number four, while Gemma Arterton’s Tamara Drewe rounds out the top five.
Drew Barrymore and Justin Long’s romantic comedy Going The Distance charts at a disappointing number seven, followed by indie comedy Cyrus at eight.
Elsewhere, comedy Dinner For Schmucks nosedives seven place to number nine.
