Despicable Me 2 has spent its second weekend at the top of the UK box office chart.



The Steve Carell-voiced animation held off competition from the two big new releases Now You See Me and The Internship to secure top spot.

Brad Pitt's zombie blockbuster World War Z drops down a place to number four, while Man of Steel completes the top five.

The Superman reboot, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Russell Crowe, has now earned more than £28 million from UK screens.

Elsewhere, the chart sees new entries from Sofia Coppola's latest film The Bling Ring and Bollywood titles Lootera and Singam II. The latter delivered an impressive £4,700 location average from its 14 cinema venues.
