'Twilight,' 'Skyfall' keep top-movie slots

The "Twilight" finale and "Skyfall" continued to dominate the box office on a typically slow post-Thanksgiving weekend that brought big business for holdover films -- and a poor start for Brad Pitt's new crime story.

Studio estimates Sunday put "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" out front for the third-straight weekend with $17.4 million domestically, The Associated Press reports.

That raised the domestic total to $254.6 million for the vampire tale released by Lionsgate 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.

The "Twilight" finale and "Skyfall" were close enough that domestic rankings could flip-flop when final numbers are released Monday.
