Amy, the film based on the life of the late Amy Winehouse, has become the second biggest documentary ever at the UK box office.

Having grossed £3.44 million, it surpassed the critically acclaimed Senna (£3.17 million) and March Of The Penguins (£3.3 million), but is some way behind Fahrenheit 9/11 which grossed £6.5 million.

In a statement, the film's producer James Gay-Rees said: "It feels like the country has fallen in love with her all over again and it is hugely satisfying to have helped create a more rounded picture of someone who was so massively misunderstood when she was here. It was a massive honour to have been given the chance to tell her story."
