10 days into the release the animated feature gets a second weekend as the number one film in Britain, Monsters University takes £2.7 million over the weekend which pushes it's total UK gross to £8.6 million.
Highest new movie of the weekend is The Worlds End, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost go on a bender to The World End pub, the ultimate goal.
The movie is directed by Edgar Wright and completes the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy" which started with Sean of the Dead with Hot Fuzz following.
The movie took £2.1 million at the box office, much lower than was expected for a much anticipated film, but like last weekend the weather has clearly kept people outside.
As expected it didn't take the top spot from Monsters University, it was actually off by nearly over half a million pound, although with the summer holidays upon us next week it could be a different different story this coming weekend.
