UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 11th December to Sunday 13th December 2015…
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has topped the UK box office for the fourth week in a row, becoming the first film since Les Miserables in February 2013 to do so.
Mockingjay’s £1.29 million haul is the lowest for a number one film this year, while the weekend also marked the first time in 2015 that no newcomers managed to crack the top ten, with distributors striving to steer clear of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Number one this time last year: Paddington
