Twilight has the sharpest BITE in the box office this past weekend! Hey guys, thanks for tuning back into clevver movies, Your number one source for movie news! Im Tatiana carrier with box office results from the weekend!
.
(BROLL) As we suspected, Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 won over the extended holiday weekend with 62 million with a world wide cume of almost 500 million. While bella, Edward and Jacob did kill it at the box office this past weekend, domestically, the film continues to pace slightly behind The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which had earned $230 million at the same point.
.
Coming in second place is the muppets with 42 million throughout the holiday weekend. The family flick, produced for only $45 million, beat a number of competitors to gross $42 million for the Wednesday-Sunday stretch; good enough to make the iconic brand a hit in the box office...which is pretty awesome considering The Muppets have been off the big screen for a decade!
.
Coming in third place are the happiest penguins around, Happy Feet 2. The dancing penguins brought in 18.4 million throughout the weekend with a cume of 43.8 million...while this film did come in 3rd in a competivie holiday weekend, the penguins did disappoint considering the first happy feet almost did better in the first weekend than the sequal has done in 2.
.
Arthur Christmas opened to $17 million, putting the holiday flick in 4th place. The film grossed a total $11.9 million at the international box office this weekend from 24 markets for a foreign total of $22.3 million, and worldwide cume of $39.3 million. It has earned $12.7 million in the U.K., where it was up again this weekend in its third frame.
.
And finally in 5th place is Hugo which brought in a better than expected 15.4 million throughout the weekend. 75 percent of the earnings came from 3D screens. We are all hoping the flick does much better throughout the holiday season, as the film cost north of 150 million to make!
