This was another huge weekend at the box office. The final
film in The Twilight Saga owned the
box office, just like the earlier releases in this series. Breaking Dawn, Part 2 grossed $141,067,000. This is a hundred
million more than Skyfall, which held
it’s own raising $41,104,000 in its second weekend. Spielberg’s Lincoln earned $21,049,000 in its first
weekend in wide release. Breaking Dawn
Part 2 also added a huge $119.6 million from oversees growth.
In terms of Twilight
movies, this was a relatively low opening weekend. While the oversees opening
was higher than any other Twilight
film, it did not stack up as well as expected to 2012’s domestic box office. This was the
fourth highest grossing film released in 2012. Falling behind: The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and
The Hunger Games. It is also behind New Moon’s opening weekend release of
$142,839,000.
The average opening weekend releases for Twilight movies is just over $111
million dollars. Breaking Dawn Part 2
is gearing up for a strong run in the domestic box office. The final
installment in the franchise will likely be around for a few more weeks.
Overall, the Twilight films have
strong domestic gross. The five films combined have made more than a billion
dollars, totaling in at $1,212,280,00. That figure includes The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2
opening weekend gross. It is sure to bring in more in the next few weeks.
Next week’s Thanksgiving box office offers a lot of options
to viewers. Oscar-winning director Ang Lee directs the film adaptation of Yann
Martels’s novel, The Life of Pi. The
remake of the 1984 film Red Dawn is
coming out. Instead of fighting the soviets, a group of teenagers tries to stop
the North Koreans from invading America. Dreamworks releases in newest animated
feature, Rise of the Guardians. Finally,
Silver Linings Playbook is released
nation-wide.
