The film adaptation is off to a sizzling start.

Nickelodeon Movies' True Jackson, VP: The Movie opened at the top of the United Kingdom box office taking the No. 1 spot with £14.02 million, replacing Disney's blockbuster hit Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides £11 million for becoming 2011's biggest weekend opening ever.

Opening in 505 cinemas, the film is narrowly beaten by Nickelodeon Movies' another film adaptation iCarly: The Movie with £15.05 million for becoming the biggest weekend opening for a film that is for all ages. When True Jackson had a huge opening in the United Kingdom, it's United States box office was disappointing.

In the US, the film opened at No. 4 behind The Hangover: Part II, Kung Fu Panda 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides taking just $30 million, and up to $44 million since Thursday. However, with the success of the film's strong UK opening, its overseas total has opened to a so-so $35 million, giving its total to $79 million worldwide.

The film also did well in other countries such as Germany, Italy, Hong Kong and Australia. The film opens in France and Spain on Wedensday June 1.
