This time, the picture that finished second in the previous two frames rose to the top by not falling too far. The Sandra Bullock vehicle dropped 49% from last weekend, to $20.4 million, while New Moon fell 70%, to $15.7 million. All the other holdovers among the top dozen films - A Christmas Carol, Old Dogs, 2012, Ninja Assassin, Planet 51, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Precious - took a steep tumble, from 52% for A Christmas Carol to 67% for Precious...
