"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has topped the UK box office on the final weekend of 2013. Peter Jackson&amp;#039;s Middle-earth sequel saw a 2% rise in ticket sales over the post-Christmas weekend (December 27-29) as it held off competition from Frozen (up a place from last week&amp;#039;s number three) and Anchorman 2 to secure first place.  The Hobbit, the second of three films based on JRR Tolkien&amp;#039;s novel, has now earned \u00C2\u00A329.3 million from UK cinemas on its three weeks on theatrical release. The fantasy epic&amp;#039;s predecessor, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, closed out its cinema run earlier this year with a \u00C2\u00A352 million cumulative haul. Elsewhere, this week&amp;#039;s top ten saw new entries in the form of Boxing Day releases The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Keanu Reeves&amp;#039;s 47 Ronin.  With earnings of \u00C2\u00A32.2 million, star/director Ben Stiller&amp;#039;s Mitty trails some way behind the \u00C2\u00A38.5 million the actor&amp;#039;s Little Fockers earned over the festive season in 2010. The latter film, however, had the benefit of weekday preview screenings. All Is Lost, Robert Redford&amp;#039;s one-man survival drama, opened to \u00C2\u00A3231,595 from its 89 locations to land just outside the top ten at 11. Justin Bieber&amp;#039;s latest documentary movie Believe debuted at number 14 with \u00C2\u00A3205,242 from 103 locations. The Jon M Chu-directed film falls short of matching the opening for the popstar&amp;#039;s Never Say Never, which opened with \u00C2\u00A3625,496 in early 2011. The UK box office top ten in full: 1.
