Avatar has returned to the top of the UK box office, comfortably seeing off the competition.

James Cameron's sci-fi epic had to settle for the second spot last week, after being dethroned by Valentine's Day.

But the movie hasn't stayed away from the top spot for long as a gross of £2.8 million saw the film reclaim the #1 spot.

There was also a move up the chart for Disney's The Princess and the Frog as it climbed from four to two.

The Lovely Bones, an adaptation of Alice Sebold's popular novel, was the first of just two new entries on the chart this week.

It's a return to the director's chair for Oscar winner Peter Jackson and brings together a great cast of Saoirse Ronan, Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz and Susan Sarandon.

Valentine's Day, which showed off an impressive ensemble cast, was this week's biggest faller as it fell from last week's number one to four.

But Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief held onto fifth while The Wolfman was another three place faller as it dropped to six from last week's three.

Solomon Kane was the only other new entry inside the top ten this as the movie opened at number seven.
