Wow this is big figures...

£13million including previews! Making it the biggest opening ever for a UK comedy. Haven't seen it yet but I'm glad it's done well as it will encourage more UK films being made. It's important to see them succeed at the box office.

The film version of TV hit The Inbetweeners has raked in more than £13 million in a matter of days - making it the biggest ever opening weekend for a UK comedy.

The spin-off from the E4 show has now overtaken Bridget Jones: Edge Of Reason, which was the previous biggest opener with £10.4 million.

The Inbetweeners movie sees show regulars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison heading off on their first "lads' holiday" with a wild trip to Malia in Crete.

It took £13.2 million since its opening, including previews.

Producer Chris Young said: "We are thrilled that The Inbetweeners Movie is the biggest opening of all time for a UK comedy."

The third biggest all-time UK comedy was Wallace & Gromit: Curse Of The Were-Rabbit with £9.4 million.

I'd recommend it, it does just feel like a long episode but it's really good

That's pretty impressive. Wonder if the Skins movie will get equally impressive figures.
