Finally, Twilight is dethroned from first place. “Skyfall” rises back to number one, while “Rise of the Guardians” makes a surprise (maybe not, it is the holiday season) leap to second place. “Lincoln” and “Life of Pi” continue to hold onto the top 5.
| #1 | SKYFALL | Weekend = $11 Million | Total = $261.6 Million |
| #2 | RISE OF THE GUARDIANS | Weekend = $10.5 Million | Total = $61.9 Million |
| #3 | THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 2 | Weekend = $9.2 Million | Total = $268.7 Million |
| #4 | LINCOLN | Weekend = $9.1 Million | Total = $97.3 Million |
| #5 | LIFE OF PI | Weekend = $8.3 Million | Total = $60.9 Million |
