The movie has taken £13.4 Million in the UK after its 2 weeks (10 days) of release.

Jumping back up the chart to number 2 this weekend of the children's book adaptation which takes £1.4 Million, an incredible 4% increase over last weekend.

Highest new movie this weekend

Highest new movie of the weekend celebrates the Halloween season as the horror movies directed by Daniel Stamm makes its debut at number 4.

The season peaked early this year with Smile~2022 and Halloween Ends having already made their mark on the box office and this movie makes its debut with £859,717.

Interestingly with halloween on a Monday this year both Smile~2022 and Halloween Ends suffered significant drop this weekend and couldn't capitalise on the season.

Event movies have become a staple of the box office in recent years and for those unable to get to the event Coldplay broadcast their latest concert in theatres starting on Thursday of last week.

Over the weekend the concert pulled in a total gross of £745,541 with repeat showings bound to push it over the Million mark in the coming weeks.

No suprise this week, The Twilight: Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2 knocks Skyfall from its perch at the top of the UK box office to become the highest grosing fim of the weekend.

Breaking Dawn 2 took a very good £15,850,825 over the weekend which is by far the best of the series, the others taking in the £13 million area except for the first film, Twilight, which amazingly only took £2,508,422 during its openeing back in December 2008.

Skyfall may have fallen to 2 this week but the film had another good weekend and raises its gross to £82,836,559 in the UK. It is now the second highest grossing film ever in the UK beating Titanic, and now only has Avatar to beat. Skyfall is now by far the most sucessful Bond movie ever in the UK, beating the previous best Casino Royale from 2006 which took a total of £55,287,027.

Interestingly Daniel Craigs Bond now has a UK box office gross of nearly £190 million, far more that any other actors reign as bond, not adjusted for inflation.

This time last year The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 was eating up the box office on its first week of release £13,910,877.

Five years ago American Gangster was the top new film at number 1 with £2,564,853

Ten years ago we were in the midst of Harry Potter fever with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets debuting at the top with £18,871,829.

And twenty years ago Whoopy Goldberg was getting hit film after hit film and was smashing the box office in the UK with Sister Act.
