Scarlett Johansson sci-fi drama Lucy has held on to top spot at the UK and Ireland box office in its second week of release, taking just under £2m.
Directed by Luc Besson, Johansson plays a woman whose brain becomes extremely powerful after taking a strange new substance while acting as a drug mule.
US comedy Let's Be Cops was the highest new entry at number two, with £1.65m.
It stars Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr as friends who dress up as police officers, which creates chaos.

The Inbetweeners 2 dropped just one place to three in its fourth week of release.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For climbed 27 places to number four with takings of £1.07m, having been released last week in just two cinemas.
The crime thriller is a follow-up to the 2005's Sin City, and features a high profile cast including Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, Jessica Alba, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Eva Green and Ray Liotta.
Marvel blockbuster Guardians of Galaxy, which has become the biggest film of the year in the US having taken $275m (£165m), rounded out the top five.
