Me Before You

Me Before You, which is based on the novel by Jojo Moyes, has made it to the top of the box office in its second week of release - seeing off blockbusters Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and Warcraft: The Beginning.

The movie, which sees Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin take on the central roles, took £1.4 million to easily see off the challenge from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is the first of a trio of non-movers as the film stayed put at number two. It is the second film in the new franchise and has already topped the U.S. box office.

Alice Through The Looking Glass was the second climber on the chart this week as the sequel to Alice in Wonderland was up once place at number three.

After just a week at number one, Warcraft: The Beginning slipped three places to this week's number four. However, the film is performing well worldwide - especially in China over the last week. X-Men: Apocalypse was another non-mover as it rounded off this week's top five.

The Nice Guys stayed put at six while The Boss was the highest new entry, opening at number seven. The movie sees Melissa McCarthy return to the big screen in a film that did open at #1 in the States.

Angry Bird The Movie was down just a single place at eight while Mother's Day was a second new entry at number nine.

The Jungle Book continues to perform well but slipped two places this week to number ten. So far, the movie has grossed over $910 million at the global box office.
