Alice sequel slips up as X-Men maintain a heroic hold on the UK box office

The challenger: Alice Through the Looking Glass.

Largely thanks to the disappointing performance of Alice Through the Looking Glass, box office overall is down 36% on the previous frame and also down 29% on the equivalent weekend from 2015, when Dwayne Johnson actioner San Andreas opened at the top with £4.63m including previews.

Several films saw their site averages hold up strongly, despite their box office dipping by significant amounts from the previous frame.
