There is no change at the top of the UK box office as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 makes it three weeks in the number one spot.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2

The final instalment of the popular franchise has now taken over £23 million in the UK alone and has almost grossed $524 million at the global box office.

There were a string of none-movers inside the top five this week as The Good Dinosaur, Spectre, and Bridge of Spies all remained at two, three, and four this week.

The highest new entry came in the form of festive film Christmas With The Coopers, which sees Diane Keaton, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Ed Helmes, Anthony Mackie, Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde all star.

Christmas With The Coopers was one of two festive films inside the top ten this week and was the highest new entry at five.

Gangster film Black Mass fell out of the top five as it dropped a single place to this week's number six. The Lady in the Van, which sees Maggie Smith return to the big screen and a comedy role, was also down one at number seven.

However, it was not such a great weekend from Victor Frankenstein as the reworking of the Mary Shelley classic could only open at number eight.

The movie sees James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe team up for the first time, but it seems that their acting talents are not going to be enough to save this film. It looks like Victor Frankenstein is going to be a loss for all involved.

Krampus was the third and final new entry as this Christmas movie with a twist was new in at number nine.

Critically acclaimed Carol was this week's biggest faller as the Cate Blanchett movie fell three places from seven to number ten. Carol has been playing to acclaim all year and is tipped to be in the Oscar mix come the beginning of next year.
