The Wolf of Wall Street holds firm at UK box office

The Wolf of Wall Street has topped the UK box office for the third weekend running.

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s fifth collaboration earned £2.3 million to hold off competition from 12 Years a Slave and Zac Efron’s new release That Awkward Moment at the chart summit.

The Wolf of Wall Street has now grossed nearly £15 million, making it Scorsese’s most successful film in the UK ahead of Gangs of New York and The Departed.

I, Frankenstein, Aaron Eckhart’s critically-panned modern reworking of Mary Shelley’s classic story, landed at number four with £811,365 in box office takings.

Frozen, which will be re-released in a new sing-along version next month, is still performing strongly at number five with £36 million earned in total from UK cinemas.

Elsewhere, Peter Berg’s Lone Survivor entered the chart at number six with £751,564.
