While it couldn’t quite beat New Moon’s opening weekend, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 sunk its teeth into the box office this weekend raking in $139.5 million.
Â
The second-to-last installment of the hit vampire series, starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, pulled in a staggering $30.3 million after Thursday’s midnight showings alone.
New Moon brought in $142.8 million its opening weekend, but Breaking Dawn Part 1 did earn the 5th best opening weekend of all time, the 3rd best-ever single day and Friday opening, and the 2nd best midnight debut.
Coming in at a distant second place was animated film Happy Feet 2, which opened with takings of $22 million, while Immortals dropped to third place with earnings of $12.2 million.
Â
Rounding out the top five were Adam Sandler’s comedy Jack and Jill ($12 million) and family film Puss in Boots ($10.7 million) at fourth and fifth place respectively.
