In at #3 is the animated "Bolt" that brought in a respectable $35 Million to bring it's total to $66.9 Million.



Gliding in at #4 is the latest installment in the 007 franchise "Quantum of Solace" which squeaked out $28.1 Million to bring it's total to $142 Million.



Rounding out the top five, is the Nicole Kidman outback film "Australia" which pulled in an even $20 Million.
