That being the case, the rankings are essentially unchanged from a week ago, with Four Christmases, Twilight, and Bolt leading the way.

Man, remember when they used to put out awesome films during the holiday season? Except for Bond the rest is pure Netflix for me.
the punisher? why are we making sequels to movies no one saw the first time? I can’t wait for Ghost Rider 2!!
Saw Twilight and Bond this weekend and was underwhelmed by both. Twilight just sucked. Quantum was a great action flick, but only a decent Bond movie.
To mrclean: I agree. Maybe Daredevil 2 will do better in December 2009.
mrclean you do realize Ghost rider sucked and Punisher war zone isnt a remake i saw it and i am seeing it again it was a VERY good movie
