Bella Swan, James Bond and Abe Lincoln have combined to lift Hollywood to record U.S. Thanksgiving holiday revenue at the box office.

Kristen Stewart's finale as Bella in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 was No. 1 again with $64 million during the five-day U.S. holiday stretch that began Wednesday, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Daniel Craig's Bond adventure Skyfall came in at No. 2 with $51 million, while Daniel Day-Lewis and Steven Spielberg's Civil War saga Lincoln finished third with $34.1 million.

According to box-office tracker Hollywood.com, the three films paced Hollywood to an all-time Thanksgiving week best of about $290 million from Wednesday to Sunday.

That tops the previous record of $273 million over Thanksgiving in 2009, when The Twilight Saga: New Moon led the week-end. -
