The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 has held onto the #1 spot at the UK box office, despite the flurry of new films and high profile actors on show over the weekend.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 has made it two consecutive weeks as the UK's number one film and held off the challenge from The Good Dinosaur, which was the highest new entry inside the top ten this week.

In just two weeks Mockingjay - Part 2 has grossed just over £19 million at the UK box office and - so far - has taken $444.8 million worldwide.

The Good Dinosaur, which is the second film this year from Pixar, opened at number two after a great weekend, which saw it gross £2.9 million. This is the first time that we have seen Pixar release two movies in a single year as Peter Sohn made his feature film directorial debut with the movie.

Spectre fell a single place this week to number three and has now grossed over £88 million at the UK box office alone.

Bridge of Spies sees Tom Hanks reunite with director Steven Spielberg and their fourth film together opened at number four - ahead of Johnny Depp and Cate Blanchett in Black Mass and Carol.

However, Black Mass was just behind Bridge of Spies at number five. Both movies are being tipped as potential Oscar contenders and we may see Hanks and Depp go head to head for the Best Actor Academy Award.

The Lady in the Van dropped out of the top five this week as it slipped three places from three to number six. Blanchett has teamed up with Rooney Mara for the first time for Carol and the critically acclaimed film was new at seven. This is another movie that is surrounded in a lot of Oscar talk.

Tamasha is the fifth and final new entry at eight, while Brooklyn has slipped four places to this week's number nine.

Hotel Transylvania 2 is the biggest faller on the chart this week as it has slipped six places from four to number ten.
