Animated sequel The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part opened top of the UK box office, with a £4m three-day weekend.
It played in 572 locations to garner a site average of £6,995.
These figures are almost half of those recorded by the first title in the series. The LEGO Movie opened to £8.1m from 547 sites in February 2014, with a £14,719 average, finishing on £34.4m.
It is also below The LEGO Batman Movie, which began with £7.9m from 602 locations on its way to £27.4m in February 2017. However, it surpassed The LEGO Ninjago Movie, which started with £3.6m and hit £9.7m in October of that year.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World slipped to second spot in its second week, adding £2.7m (a 48% drop) and reaching £9.1m cume.

Seven-time Bafta winner The Favourite put on £240,264 for £14.6m after six weeks. It will look for a boost from last night’s success to take it past the £15.2m of Fox’s big awards title from last year, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
