LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- In a rarity, the top seven movies in U.S. theaters, led by "Marley and Me," remained the same this weekend, Box Office Mojo said Sunday.

"Marley" pulled in an estimated $24.05 million for a 2-week total of $106.51 million, followed by "Bedtime Stories" at $20.32 million, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" at $18.4 million, "Valkyrie" at $14.04 million, "Yes Man" at $13.85 million, "Seven Pounds" at $10 million and "The Tale of Despereaux" at $7.02 million.

"Doubt" moved up from No. 10 to No. 8 with an estimated $5.03 million in gate receipts, followed by "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with $4.85 million.

"Slumdog Millionaire," which moved up from 13th place with $4.77 million, pushed "Twilight" out of the top tier.

The first week of 2009 brought no new movies to the Top 10.
