By The latest "Twilight" movie cast the longest shadow with $16.9 million for a third-straight No. 1 finish during one of the year's slowest weekends at the box office, The Associated Press reports.. Business was dismal, with box-office tracker Hollywood.com estimating Sunday that domestic revenues totaled just $82 million. That puts it barely ahead of Hollywood's worst haul of the year, when revenues were $81.5 million over the second weekend in September.. Once studios release final numbers Monday, this past weekend could come in as the worst of the year if revenues finish even lower.. The first weekend of December often presents a lull in between big Thanksgiving holiday releases and the year-end blockbusters that arrive a bit later. But this big a slowdown is surprising given that there's quality stuff out there among the top-10 films, particularly family fare such as "The Muppets," "Hugo" and "Arthur Christmas." Hollywood executives usually blame bad weekends on a weak crop of movies.
