With £5.24m including previews totalling £691,000, the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie had no trouble dethroning King Arthur: Legend of the Sword to grab the top spot at the UK box office.
The castaway tale began with a slightly sturdier £64,000 from 41 cinemas, and £92,000 including previews.
Baywatch began on Monday (doing very nicely, thank you) and will report an inflated seven-day opening weekend next week.
A year prior, Dead Man’s Chest opened slightly bigger, with £13.74m including £2.28m in previews.
