Another calm weekend at the box office before the Christmas madness sets in. “Skyfall” took back the top slot from “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” which slid to third place. The DreamWorks animated film “Rise of the Guardians” rose to second. The only newcomer was the FilmDistrict dump “Playing for Keeps,” which outperformed my doomsday projection but still tanked with $6 million. “Hyde Park on the Hudson” starring Bill Murray as FDR was the only new limited release, putting up an underwhelming-but-OK $83,300. Nothing more to see here, folks.
