Suicide Squad has remained at the top of the UK box office to make it a second week as the number one film.

Suicide Squad took a further £4.2 million over the weekend to easily hold off the challenge from Finding Dory.

Despite the poor reviews, Suicide Squad has grossed $471 million worldwide in its first two weeks and is on course to be another massive hit.

Finding Dory was another none-mover this weekend as it stayed put at number two. The film took a further £2.5 million as it continues to thrill audiences.

The movie has also become the fifth highest-grossing movie of the year so far - surpassing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - and has now taken over $900 million at the global box office.

It was all about the none-movers in the top five this week as Jason Bourne and The BFG remained at three and four for the second consecutive week.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates was the highest new entry this week as the comedy, which stars Zac Efron, opened at number five.

This was the start of a flurry of new entries as Pete's Dragon, which is a remake of the 1977 film of the same name, opened at number six. This is the latest film from Disney and saw David Lowery back in the director's chair.

Nerve and The Shallows were the third and fourth new entries on the chart this week and opened at seven and eight.

Star Trek Beyond was one of this week's biggest fallers as the blockbuster slipped from five to number nine. The movie is the third film in the new Star Trek series and sees Justin Lin take over the helm from J.J. Abrams.

The Secret Life of Pets was also a four place faller as it rounded off the top ten, down from last week's number six.
