with the annual post-thanksgiving multiplex malaise setting in and just one big new movie -lrb- punisher : war zone , which i 'll get to later ... uh , much later -rrb- 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 -lrb- no. 3 -rrb- 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 -lrb- no. 5 -rrb- grossed $ 6.6 million and crossed the $ 500 million mark worldwide . among major new releases , the biggest was hardly the baddest : punisher : war zone -lrb- no. 8 -rrb- 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 ! travelling with a pet can be a stressful and expensive ordeal , but delta air lines have come up with a way to put passengers at ease when their pet is in the carrier below . the new pet gps system allows owners to track their furry friends ' journeys in real time , from monitoring the temperature below , to whether their cage is upright or askew . the first-of-its-kind technology was developed by sendum wireless corp. and is available for $ 50 per flight from 10 us airports . delta 's new pet gps , available for $ 50 per flight , allows owners to track their pets on a plane via a website . the move was no doubt aimed to make passengers feel safer about bringing their pets with them on flights , as delta air lines has a less than rosy history of pet fatalities on board . tragically between 2010 and 2013 , delta reported the greatest number of animal incidents and was held responsible for 41 of the 97 reported deaths that year . they maintain that the high numbers are due to the fact they carry a higher number of pets than competitors . the service is available from 10 us airlines including los angeles and atlanta . meanwhile , the other sorta-substantial new movie , cadillac records -lrb- no. 9 -rrb- , 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 -lrb- except , perhaps , that of box office flop of the week -rrb- , 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 . two months ago it was reported that delta failed to load a number of show dogs on a flight , and staff admitted they did not know where the prized pets were , when they were asked by customers . the dogs had been competing at the prestigious westminster dog show in new york and were headed for seattle . angry passengers disembarked and were given a free overnight stay at a hotel near jfk , a refund of their $ 200 dog fees , vip service at the airport and spots in the cabin for the dogs for the return flight to seattle . it is hoped the sendum wireless corp. technology , which has similar trackers for keeping tabs on alcohol and tobacco and to make sure seafood is kept cold , will give owners peace of mind during their travels . owners of pets at the westminster dog show in new york were told their pets were not on board their delta flight , and disembarked to go and find them . the pets were safely retrieved , but the airlines has had a number of animal related incidents in the past . 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 . a former eurovision contestant running for parliament could still be elected as an mp despite dying two days ago . ronnie carroll died just days after successfully getting on the general election ballot paper for hampstead and kilburn , where his name will remain for the election . due to stand as an independent , mr carroll was 80 and had contested elections before , winning 29 votes in the haltemprice and howden by-election - despite campaigning for a record score of 0 . former eurovision contestant ronnie carroll -lrb- pictured with his second wife june paul -rrb- has died aged 80 , just two days after successfully getting on the election ballot paper . an electoral commission spokesperson told the sun mr carroll could still potentially win , although the vote would be declared void and a new candidate sought . he died following a battle with cancer , during which a friend handed in his election nomination papers as he was too ill to do so himself . mr carroll was on the statement of nominations as ` the eurovisionary carroll ' . sophy dury and bill dury were listed as nominees for his candidacy . he contested the 1962 and 1963 eurovision song contest , making him the only briton to compete two years running . the seat is the most marginal in england , won by labour 's glenda jackson by just 42 votes in 2010 . mr carroll 's fame peaked in the 1950s and 60s , when he dated a string of women and raised hell with sean connery . click here to try 2
