Fifth place is filled by Shaun the Sheep, whose first big-screen outing made £1m between Friday and Sunday to take its total UK and Ireland tally to £11.6m.
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel sees Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith return as British pensioners living out their retirement years in the Indian city of Jaipur.
