It probably comes as no surprise that The Inbetweeners 2 has set a brand new record for the ‘Opening day for a comedy in the UK’ beating the record set by its predecessor in 2011. The sequel has brought in a whopping in £2.75m in one day.
The second movie sees the four bumbling fools Will, Simon, Jay & Neil (played by Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison) and head to Australia on a gap year and we’re promised the movie is bigger, ruder and funnier than the first. The fact so many if us Brits flocked to the cinema yesterday to see it is a testament to the popularity of the show which started on Channel 4 and ran for 3 series climaxing in the big screen treatment in 2011 with The Inbetweeners Movie.
