With the annual post-Thanksgiving multiplex malaise setting in and just one big new movie ( Punisher : War Zone , which I 'll get to later ... uh , much later ) in theaters , the box office results remarkably resembled those of a week ago . Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn star in `` Four Christmases , '' which stayed at No . 1 . So , yep , you guessed it : Four Christmases was No . 1 with $ 18.2 million , according to Sunday 's estimates . That brings the holiday comedy 's two-week sum to a sweet $ 70.8 million -- and it restores my confidence in Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon as box office draws . For now , at least . The rest of the top five is comprised of the same movies we 've been seeing for a while now . Twilight moved back up to the No . 2 spot with a tidy $ 13.2 million haul ; its three-week sum is $ 138.6 million . Bolt ( No . 3 ) followed with $ 9.7 million , a huge and surprising 64 percent decline from its impressive Thanksgiving weekend sum . Australia declined 53 percent to bank $ 7 million at No . 4 . And Quantum of Solace ( No . 5 ) grossed $ 6.6 million and crossed the $ 500 million mark worldwide . Among major new releases , the biggest was hardly the baddest : Punisher : War Zone ( No . 8 ) grossed a mere $ 4 million in 2,508 theaters , a tally that 's way off from the $ 13.8 million that The Punisher premiered with in 2004 . More punishment : The Marvel franchise reboot failed to defeat even last week 's action disappointment , Transporter 3 which was No . 7 with $ 4.5 million . Ouch ! Meanwhile , the other sorta-substantial new movie , Cadillac Records ( No . 9 ) , fared a bit better , bringing in a decent $ 3.5 million in 686 locations . But the indie drama Nobel Son failed to take any prize ( except , perhaps , that of Box Office Flop of the Week ) , grossing just $ 370,575 in 893 venues -- a redonkulously low average of $ 415 per theater . Nay , the only real news of note came in the ultra-limited-release sphere , where the buzzy drama Frost/Nixon debuted with a tremendous $ 60,049 average in three theaters in New York , Los Angeles and Toronto . The Oscar contender will roll out wider in the coming weeks . 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 . That makes this the fifth straight `` up '' weekend of the fall season , and all things considered , it should be enough to spread some holiday cheer in Hollywood .
