Teen film sequel American Pie 2 has shot to the top of the UK cinema chart, taking more than six times more in box office receipts than its nearest rival over the weekend. 
The comedy, which follows a group of friends who reunite during their first university break, took more than £5.5m between Friday and Sunday. 

Moulin Rouge, which took £864,000, was pushed down to number two, with Enigma at number three and AI: Artificial Intelligence at number four. 

The Pledge, directed by Sean Penn and starring Jack Nicholson, could only enter the chart at number 11 - but was only screened at 34 sites.
