'Brüno' dominates UK box office

WENN

Brüno has gone straight to the top of the UK box office.

Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy pulls in just over £5 million to knock Ice Age 3 from the chart summit. Brüno's Friday gross is an opening-day record for an 18 certificate movie in the UK, while the total weekend haul shatters the record for an 18-rated comedy.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and The Hangover hold steady at number three and four, with last week's runner-up Public Enemies slipping three places to complete the top five.

Elsewhere, Bollywood film Shortkut - The Con Is On makes its chart debut at number ten.
