Remaining at number 2 is the Marvel sequel movie to Black Panther which takes £1.5 Million, a 44% drop over last weekend.

Highest new movie this weekend
Making its debit at number 3 this weekend the Die Hard meets Home Alone horror movie starring David Harbour as Santa Claus and directed by Tommy Wirkola comes in with less than would have been expected.
The movie takes under £1 Million on its debut with a gross of £822,646, its still early December and this could see a boost as audiences get more into the Christmas spirit.
Disney's latest animated take falls to number 3 this week with a gross of £442,409 on its second weekend of release, a 47% drop over its debut.
This gives the movie a total gross of £1.3 Million at the UK & Northern Ireland box office.
This seems like bad news for Disney as the movie seems to be failing to pull in audiences, Encanto from the same time in 2021 took £1.2 Million on its second weekend for a total of £3.3 Million.
The Ralph Finnes starring movie stays at number 5 on its 3rd weekend of release with a gross of £334,430, a small 22% drop.

In a fascinating weekend for the UK box office a 10 week old movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru goes back to the top, a 15 week old movie, Top Gun: Maverick goes back into the top 5 and a 2021 movie and one of the top grossing movies in the UK is the top new release, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Adding to this the second highest new movie is E.T. The Extra Terrestrial celebrating its 40th anniversary, yes 40 years since the release of the once global highest grossing movie of all time!
Less impressive this weekend is the debut releases for Three Thousand Years of Longing which is new at 10 with £307,176, Fall~2022 new at 13 with £220,270 and The Forgiven~2021 new at 15 with £182,772.
Going back to the top of the UK box office, once again, is the sequel movie to Minions which 5 weeks after it was last at the top, and 10 weeks after it was first at the top it takes £1.06 Million to return to the top, a 46% jump over last weekend.
With no high profile new releases now in the last couple of weeks, and the end of the school summer holidays, and the bargain price of £3 per ticket on Saturday this is perhaps not too much of a surprise.
The movie has now taken £44 Million in the UK and is the second top movie of 2022, it is also the 61st top movie of all time.
Interestingly the movie is behind the first Minions movie but it has been consistently about £1 Million behind.
Also doing well at the end of the school summer holidays and jumping back up to number 2 this weekend is the animated movie based on DC superhero pets which takes £1 Million on its 6th weekend, which is 41% up from last weekend.
The movie has taken a total of £14 Million in the UK over its 6 weeks of release.
The movie which simply wont go away is the top movie of 2022 in the UK which this weekend takes £600,258, a modest 7% increase over last weekend.
The movie has now taken a total of £81.6 Million over its 15 weeks of release and is the 9th top movie of all time in the UK.
The only film this weekend on the top 5 this drops week on week is the Brad Pitt fast train heist movie which takes £554,100 on its 5th weekend of release, a 7% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total UK gross of £9.2 Million.
Highest new movie of the weekend
Getting a re-release to celebrate National Cinema Day is the 2021 Spider-Man release from Marvel and Sony with a little help Disney.
The movie takes a quite incredible £469,309 on its return to the box office, incredible because the movie is the 4th biggest movie of all time in the UK and it was only in cinemas earlier this year, and although there is 20 minites extra footage it does not change the story and makes it a 3 hour movie!
Still the movie has now spent 16 weeks on the chart and taken an amazing £96.9 Million, it is also the 8th top movie of 2022.
