6. Quantum of Solace, $3.8 million
7. Nothing Like the Holidays, $3.5 million
8. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, $3.3 million
9. Milk, $2.6 million
10. Transporter 3, $2.3 million

STAR Artist Leona Lewis will be spending New Year’s Eve where everyone wants to spend NYE…the exotic and beautiful Poland!
