Rise of the Guardians has topped the UK box office on its second weekend on release.
DreamWorks Animation’s festive movie, featuring the voices of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin and Isla Fisher, takes in £1.6 million from its 495 locations to knock Skyfall into second place.
The likes of So Undercover, The Man with the Iron Fists, The Oranges and Celeste and Jesse Forever all opened last week, but failed to make a dent in the top ten. The most successful was Miley Cyrus’s teen comedy, which landed at number 14 with just £99,340 from 283 UK locations.
