Following the path laid down by its US box office release, Straight Outta Compton this week climbs to the top of the UK box office on its debut.

A low week overall for the box office grosses and Straight Outta Compton's weekend take is £2.4 million, although it is higher than last weeks top film.

Last weeks top film was Paper Town which this week takes a big shove down the box office and ends up at number 8.

A £452,953 second weekend gross brings the film total gross to date to £3.4 with the prospect of a very short 3 week run.

Worth noting is the run of Inside Out which once again is at 2 and like last week would have been the top movie it it was Monday to Friday.

Also new this week is Hitman Agent 47 at number 3 and 45 Years which is new at number 10, Zak Efrons We Are Your Friends is considered a flop with a number 13 entry.
