A third week at the top for The Hunger Games: Mockingly Part 2 in the wake of little in the way of new releases in the UK.
The box office is on hold at the moment waiting for one of the biggest releases of the year which left room for Mockingly to make £2.2 million.
This brings the total UK gross for the last of The Hunger Games films to £23.3 million after 3 weeks of release.
Highest new film of the week is Christmas with the Coopers, an all American movie about family meeting up for the holiday season.
A very low debut gross of nearly £700,000 puts the film at number 5, little chance of this film having longevity at the box office though.
Highest total grossing film on the box office is Spectre which has to date grossed over £90 million and this week is at number 3.
