James Bond thriller "Quantum of Solace," which came in fourth place this weekend, raked in the most total ticket sales since its debut two weeks ago, with 142 million dollars.
The top 12 films grossed 156.7 million dollars this weekend, more than twice the amount in the same period last year, according to the industry monitor.

"Australia" racked up 14.8 million, while "Transporter 3" earned 12.3 million.
