The winnings of "Avatar" finally begin to drop as the film earned less than $50 million this weekend. Considering it is now the second-highest grossing film of all time now, that really doesn't matter. But if "Avatar" wins next weekend as well, it will be the first film since "The Sixth Sense" be to at No. 1 for five weeks (and that film came out over 10 years ago).

And "Avatar" is really the only film to make money this past weekend. "Sherlock Holmes" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks" dropped a lot as did other films that hadn't just opened.

As for the films that did open, they didn't do well at all. Apparently "Youth in Revolt" and "Leap Year" had little to no audience while "Daybreakers" at least got the horror fans into theaters. I hear it is a pretty cool vampire film as well (as compared to other recent....vampire films).

Will "Avatar" take its fifth weekend in a row or will a new film reach the top?
