This week, as predicted, the last film the in The Hunger Games series, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, flies to the top of the box office.
Catching Fire and Mockingjay Part 1 both debuted with almost the same figure around £12 million, the first film in the series debuted with £4 million while this last part enters the box office with £11 million.
Although not the lowest debut this certainly shows a demising interest in the series, the luke warm reviews haven't helped the film either.
Spectre falls to number 2 this week despite still grossing good number, this weeks £3.8 million brings the total gross in the UK to £84.6 million, this places the film at number 3 on the UK all time box office grosses.
Other new films this week has The Dressmaker making its debut at number 7 and The Perfect Guy entering at number 10.
Highest total grossing film of the box office is, no surprise, Sprectre.
