At the US box office this week Disney score a second week at the top of the tree with their latest animated feature Zootopia.
Taking a very good $50 million on its second weekend of release the well received film has now taken $142.6 million after 2 weeks of release.
Coming in new at number 2 this week is the JJ Abrams produced film 10 Cloverfield Lane, a sequel of sorts to 2008's Cloverfield.
The films debut did not come anywhere near Cloverfield's $40 million opening with $25 million this weekend but the film has done well and for a low budget movie has done well.
Highest total grossing movie on the US box office this week is Deadpool at 3 which has now grossed $328 million after 5 weeks.
Deadpool makes it 2 weeks at the top of the UK box office this week with yet another decent weekend gross.
£5.6 million is enough to keep it at the top of the tree which brings its total UK gross to £25 million after 10 days in cinemas.
Repeating last weeks top 2 Alving and the Chipmunks The Road Chip hangs on in the runner up spot for a second week.
Highest new film of the week is the female let comedy How To Be Single staring Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson.
The valentines day/date movie has an appeal for men but has a strong female appeal in direct competition to Deadpool, although that film does have a strong female appeal.
How To Be Single makes 3rd place on its debut with a fairly solid £1.8 million, although no-where near either leads last film of Fifty Shades of Grey and Pitch Perfect 2.
The only other new film on the top 10 is Triple 9 at number 6.
Highest total grossing film on the box office is still Star Wars: The Force Awakens which is at number 9 this week and has now taken £122 million.
Historical charts
A Year Ago - Fifty Shades of Grey held onto the top of the box office for a second week and with little strong competition The Wedding Ringer was the highest new film at 5.
Five years ago - Simon Pegg and Nick Frost starred in their self penned Paul which entered at number 1 knocking Gnomeo and Juliet down to 2.
Ten years ago - Chicken Little held on for another week at the top of the chart with Heath Ledger starring in Casanova the highest new film at number 5.
Fifteen years ago - Ridley Scott directed Hannibal which entered the box office at the top knocking Mel Gibson in What Women Want into second place.
Twenty years ago - Smash hot Jumanji entered the box office at the top of the chart knocking Heat down to second place.
Twenty Five Years ago - Dances With Wolves was still riding at the top of the box office after major Oscar success and Men At Work entered the chart at number 5.
Unsurprising this week that the comedy smash The Inbetweeners 2 stays at the top of the UK box office for another week, also no strong new releases helped it's cause.
Proving to be as popular as the original, The Inbetweeners stayed at the top of the tree with a weekend take of £3.4 million which brings its 10 day total gross to £22.3 million.
The first movie had taken £25 million by this point in it's run so this movie is a tiny bit behind but should end up at about the same figure by the end of it's cinema run.
Holding steady at 2 is Guardians of the Galaxy which means that the highest new film is The Expendables 3 at number 3.
This is the lowest grossing film in the (current) trilogy with the first film taking £3 million on it's opening and the followup taking £2 million.
Also worth mentioning this week is Disneys frozen which despite having had a few months on home video now makes a re-appearance on the box office at number 15 with a nearly £100,000 take.
Back to the Future keeps it's appearance in the top 10 due to it's Secret Cinema event showings in London.
One year ago this week Kick-Ass 2 made it's debut on the chart with an entry at number 1 knocking Grown Ups 2 to 4th.
Five years ago The Time Travelers Wife took the number 1 spot on it's debut knocking Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to number 4.
Ten years ago I, Robot surrendered the top spot to new entry The Bourne Supremacy.
Fifteen years ago Will Smith and Kevin Klein hit the top spot with Wild Wild West on it's debut week knocking Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me to number 3.
