The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 dethrones Spectre at the UK box office

November 25, 2015 by Gary Collinson

UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 20th November to Sunday 22nd November 2015…

As expected, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 opened atop the UK box office chart this past weekend, pulling in £11,255,566, including almost £2 million of preview screenings.

While it’s certainly an impressive bow, Mockingjay – Part 2 was down on its predecessor, which debuted with £12.6 million last year, as well as the second instalment Catching Fire, which opened with £12.2 million.

Two other new entries also cracked the top ten, with the Kate Winslet drama The Dressmaker opening in seventh with £235,968, followed by thriller The Perfect Guy down in tenth with £102,924.

Meanwhile, despite being knocked from top spot, Spectre continued its climb up the list of the highest-grossing movies here in the UK, and is currently third behind Skyfall (£103 million) and Avatar (£94 million).
