Due Date has held off competition from Jackass 3D to top the UK box office.
The road comedy, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, took in £2.3 million in ticket receipts to easily outpace the third Jackass movie’s £1.6 million haul.
Despicable Me, which has grossed an impressive £16 million in the UK since opening less than a month ago, is in third spot. Horror movies Saw 3D and Paranormal Activity 2 complete the top five.
Elsewhere, the chart sees new releases Let Me In and Another Year debut at numbers eight and nine respectively.
