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.
