Following on from the 2015 film Kingsman The Golden Circle this week makes its debut at number 1 with a weekend gross of £8.5 million.
Kingsman had a debut weekend of just over £4 million do the sequel has double that gross and has already made half of the originals total gross.
With this debut Kingsman 2 should be able to getting in the region of £25 - £30 million quite easily.
After a couple of weeks at the top IT falls to the runner up spot although it still manages a very respectable £2.8 million.
This brings the films total gross to £26.4 million, with plenty of milage left in the film we could be looking at £35 million total gross.
With the new Kingsman movie out this week studios didn't want to put anything of note against it so there are no other new film on the top ten.
