The Lego Movie builds on success at UK box office

The Lego Movie has topped the UK box office for the second consecutive weekend.

Warner Bros’ 3D animated adventure took home £5.9 million to hold off competition from Mr Peabody & Sherman to retain first place.

The half-term holidays resulted in a bumper weekend for animated movies, with Tinker Bell and The Pirate Fairy moving up into third spot and Frozen re-entering the chart at number ten.

Disney’s Oscar-nominated musical has now earned £38.5 million after three months on release in the UK.

Elsewhere in the chart, George Clooney’s Monuments Men fell down to number four and RoboCop completes the top five.
