What looked like a possible upset early in the game ended in another win for New Moon. Although the film pulled in another $42.9 million over the holiday weekend, the Twilight sequel dropped approximately 70% from its first frame and escaped second place by a mere $2.8 million.
The vampires were given a run for their box office dollars by The Blind Side, the sports drama starring Sandra Bullock. Unlike Moon, the heartwarming film actually saw improvement in its second week. The entry also managed to hold off the Chris Weitz-helmed project on Thanksgiving Day.

French Robber Daniel Craig
From being voted hottest torso to having plenty of roles lined up (and one written for him), Daniel Craig must be a man of few worries.
Scriptwriter Joe Penhall, who wrote The Road and The Proposition director John Hillcoat are currently working on an English-speaking remake of the French robbery movie La Bonne Annee and are sculpting the script for Daniel to take the lead.
If it goes ahead, the 41-year-old James Bond actor will play an ex-convict in the modern-day remake of the 1973 Claude Lelouch movie. The project will follow his alter-ego as he hatches a plan to rob a luxurious jewelers in the French town Cannes.
This will not be the first time Penhall and the Hollywood star have worked together—in 2000 they collaborated for Some Voices and again in 2004 for Enduring Love.
Hillcoat has also been in discussions with the Craig about working on a big-screen adaptation of The Death of Bunny Munro, based on a novel by Nick Cave about a sex-obsessed salesman.
