The Twilight finale and Skyfall continued to dominate the box office on a typically slow post-U.S.
Thanksgiving holiday weekend that brought big business for holdover films but a poor start for Brad Pitt's new crime story.
Sunday studio estimates put The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 out front for the third-straight weekend with $17.4 million.
That raised the domestic total to $254.6 million for the vampire tale released by Lions-gate banner Summit Entertainment.
Sony's James Bond adventure Skyfall was a fraction behind with $17 million domestically, raising revenue to $246 million after four weekends.
Pitt's Killing Them Softly, the weekend's top new release, tanked with just $7 million domestically, coming in at No.
7 behind a big batch of holdovers.
