Wreck-It Ralph climbs back to top of national box office

John C. Reilly's animated Disney movie Wreck-It Ralph has blown away the new Die Hard film to reclaim the top spot at the box office in its third weekend of release.

Bruce Willis' blockbuster A Good Day to Die Hard, which was number one last week, was pushed into second place after family favourite Wreck-It Ralph pulled in £3.4 million over the weekend.

The fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise earned £1.6 million after suffering a 64 per cent dip in its first-weekend takings.

Horror movie Mama, starring Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain, came third with takings of £1.5 million, while Academy Award-winning movie musical Les Miserables held steady at four with a haul of £765,367.

Romantic comedy I Give It A Year rounded out the top five, with £630,000.
