Paddington was released at the box office on November 28th 2014 to much hype and debuted at the top of the box office in that first week.
Over a 15 week stay on the box office it did amazing business and to date has made £37 million pound, it is still on general release, and still on the top 15 box office.
Although not a major hit worldwide it is the 45th highest grossing film ever in the UK, just ahead of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of The Clones and just behind Monsters, Inc. Last weeks top film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 falls just the one place this week.
Other new film on the video chart are: The Drop at number 5 and The Horseman at number 6.
