“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” is showing some impressive fight at the box office.

The Middle Earth send-off held its ground, securing the top spot on the charts for a third consecutive weekend. The New Line and MGM co-production picked up $21.9 million, driving its domestic total to $220.8 million.

To retain its crown, “The Hobbit” had to contend with two resilient Christmas holdovers in “Unbroken” and “Into the Woods” and the surprising strength of horror sequel, “Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death.” The holiday hits were in a dead heat for second place, with “Into the Woods” retaining a slight edge in the initial estimates. The musical is expected to make $91.1 million, bringing its domestic haul to $91.2 million.

“Unbroken” was right behind, capturing third place with $18.4 million. The survival drama’s stateside total stands at $87.8 million.
