Post-Thanksgiving weekend is a slow weekend for movie theaters. Four Christmases stayed at the number 1 spot. While the highly anticipated Twilight took a near second making $13.2 million. The top five hasn't changed much recently with Bolt, Australia, and Quantum Of Solace taking the 3rd, 4th, and 5th spots again. Punisher: War Zone took in only $4 million which is a huge drop from when The Punisher premiered a couple years ago. Another new movie, Cadillac Records, took in about $3.5 million only being played in 686 theaters. "Overall, the slow box office was actually up more than 6 percent from the same, even slower frame a year ago, when The Golden Compass produced disappointing returns."
