Ralph Breaks the Internet should play steadily until the end of the Christmas holiday in January.
Knocking Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald off the top spot after its two-week reign is the latest animation from Walt Disney: Ralph Breaks the Internet.
The previous weekend, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Shoplifters had buoyed the indie sector with its opening gross of £118,000 from 43 cinemas including £10,000 in previews.
An obvious comparison point for this release is Wreck-It Ralph itself, which began its run in February 2013 with £4.53m.
