The second instalment of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy has bumped Disney’s Frozen from the top of the Official Video Chart.

The Hobbit - The Desolation Of Smaug was the biggest selling DVD and Blu-ray title in the UK last week, and has gone straight in at Number 1 on the Official Video Chart.

The second instalment of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy has knocked Disney’s Frozen from the top of the Official Video Chart. It has also topped the Official DVD and Official Blu-ray format charts, and is Number 1 on the Official Film On Video genre chart, too.
