The final Hobbit installment fought its way to the top of the U.K. box office, taking $15 million in its opening weekend and pushing U.K. success story Paddington into second place.
The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies debuted higher than the second film in the trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug, which took $14.5 million in its first week last year, but below that of An Unexpected Journey’s $18.1 million in 2012.
