Despite becoming the first 18 certificated film to top the UK and Ireland chart since 2010, Dredd took just £769,381 in its second weekend of release and fell a massive four places to a disappointing fifth place.

Based on cult 2000AD character Judge Dredd, its earnings from 415 locations were down 27% on its opening weekend.
Relationship drama Hope Springs starring Meryl Streep, Steve Carell and Tommy Lee Jones, also failed to entice cinema-goers.
It made £728,689 from 417 locations entering the chart in sixth place in its debut weekend.
At number seven was the Disney-Pixar animated film, Brave which earned £584,321 - a slim 10% drop - and has now taken £20,138,592 in box office receipts after seven weeks on release.
Holding on to a spot in the top ten was Seth MacFarlane's hit comedy Ted, which has now earned Universal just under £30m since its release 7 weeks ago.
The Sweeney is set to become Love's strongest performing film at the UK box office.
His next best debut film, Outlaw, from 2007 earned £1.6m in total, while his last movie, The Firm opened with takings of £310,000.
