All tag results for breaking dawn - part 1

It's official, folks!

The reign of Twilight over the box office is coming to a close!

After spending three weeks at number one, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 finally lost its footing to not just James Bond, whose latest movie, Skyfall, made it back to the top for the first time in four weekends with $11 million, but also Rise of the Guardians, who came in second with $10.5 million after a slow start!

So where did that leave our beloved Edward and Bella?!

In the number position with $9.2 million, closely followed by Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, with $9.1 million!

We doubt the folks at Summit are TOO upset, though!

The concluding chapter to the sparkling vampire franchise has out-done both Breaking Dawn - Part 1 AND New Moon with a domestic gross of $268.7 million!

Not too shabby, Stephenie Meyer! Not too shabby at all!

Ch-ch-check out the full box office top ten this week…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Hey! You know that if even the former Presidential candidate is checking it out during its opening weekend, you've got a hit on your hands!

That's right, we're now learning that Mitt Romney contributed to what Summit is estimating to be a $141.3 million debut for the concluding chapter to The Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn - Part 2's opening weekend, which marks it as making nearly the exact amount its predecessor, Breaking Dawn - Part 1, made in a similar timeframe, and just below the franchise's record-holder, New Moon!

On a much larger scale, however, the collective gross will mark it as the EIGHTH largest opening weekend for a movie EVER…even though three of the movies ahead of it - The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Hunger Games - all opened this year, as well!

No shame in that, though!

We're delighted to see that our beloved Edward and Bella could close out the year of mega-blockbusters with some sparkles!

Ch-ch-ch-check out the top ten biggest box office opening weekends of all time…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
