The sitcom spinoff, starring Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison, takes in £3.6 million to easily hold off competition from Rise of the Planet of the Apes and One Day.
The Inbetweeners Movie has now grossed more than £34 million from UK cinemas, but co-creator Iain Morris has maintained that the comedy is unlikely to get a sequel.
The Smurfs holds its place at number four, while Salman Khan's Bollywood release Bodyguard opens strongly to land at five.
Elsewhere, new movies Fright Night and Apollo 18 make disappointing debuts, landing at numbers seven and eight respectively.

1. (1) The Inbetweeners Movie - £3,679,555
2. (3) Rise of the Planet of the Apes - £1,083,091
3. (2) One Day - £1,048,343
4. (4) The Smurfs - £1,043,353
