The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has blown away the competition at the UK box office.

Catching Fire is the second of Suzanne Collins novels to be adapted for the big screen, and it set to be one of the biggest films of the year.

The movie took £12.1 million at the UK box office over the weekend to comfortably topple Gravity from the #1 spot.

Catching Fire is the global #1 movie and has so far taken in excess of $316 million after just a single week on release.

Gravity fell just a single place to number two, while Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor was new at three.

The Day of the Doctor marked the 50th anniversary of the hit sci-fi show, and was shown around the world on Saturday night.

Thor: The Dark World was down two places at four, while there was no move for The Butler at five.

Philomena was the biggest faller this week as the Judi Dench film fell three place to six. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 was in at seven having fell just one place from last week.

The Family and Andre Rieu: Home for Christmas 2013 were the other new entries on the chart this week at eight and nine.
