Expectations weren’t high for Brad Pitt’s small, polarizing indie Killing Them Softly, but with one of the biggest A-Listers in Hollywood in the lead, many guessed the film could at least sink its teeth into reigning champ Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 at this weekend’s box office. Not the case, as the latter once again trumped its contenders in the notoriously quiet post-Thanksgiving week at the movies.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 from Summit Entertainment (a Lionsgate company) took home the top prize with $17.4 million, but Sony’s Skyfall with continued strong word-of-mouth and the potential for a smaller weekend over weekend percentage drop could also make a strong bid for number one. The two films have nearly identical North American totals to date with each at around $254.6 million and $246 million, respectively.
