It was a hard-fought battle for box office supremacy, but at the end of the day, it's still very hard to kill a vampire.

"[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/457372/moviemain.jhtml"]The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2[/url]" once again claimed the top spot at theaters for the third week in a row, barely beating out Britain's finest, James Bond in "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/470751/moviemain.jhtml"]Skyfall[/url]." The holdovers dominated in a soft weekend for new releases.

The finale of Stephenie Meyers' vampire series took in an additional $17.4 million, bringing its worldwide total past the $700 million mark, while "Skyfall" came up just short with $17 million.

"Killing Them Softly," the latest from Brad Pitt and director Andrew Dominik, provided journalists with generous fodder for bad headline puns, debuting in seventh place with $7 million.
