MTV: Box Office Report

Four movies in, the "Twilight" franchise continues to achieve new "firsts." Over the weekend, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" became the first entry in the romantic vampires-and-werewolves series to maintain the top spot at the box office three weekends in a row.

"Breaking Dawn" collected another $16.9 million, easily besting the $11.2 million claimed by expected champion "The Muppets" during a soft post-Thanksgiving weekend. The latest numbers are the highest third-weekend gross of any "Twilight" film. However, the $247.3 million gross of "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" is still behind where "New Moon" had landed after the same amount of time in theaters. CLICK HERE to read the rest of my report.
