With a sturdy debut of £11.15m, Despicable Me 3 had no problem knocking Transformers: The Last Knight off the top spot at the UK box office chart.
With a debut of £2.39m and £3.61m including Wednesday/Thursday previews, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver has got off to a speedy start.
The original Despicable Me, which opened for the October half-term holiday in 2010, was much more modest, beginning with £3.66m, including £205,000 in previews.
Despicable Me 2 kicked off with £9.95m in June 2013, with previews taking that total to £14.82m.
