Bad reviews? Ha! The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1 sunk its teeth into the weekend box office, raking in $139.5 million and notching the fifth-best domestic opening ever, the Los Angeles Times reports. (Its only financial failing: missing the $142.8 million opening record set by the series' second installment, New Moon.) The only other major release this weekend, Happy Feet Two, trudged along in second place with a mere $22 million.
Filling out the top five movies that lacked pale vampires and bare-chested werewolves:
- Immortals, $12.3 million; down 62% in its second weekend.
- Jack and Jill, $12 million; also in its second weekend, down 52%.
- Puss in Boots, $10.7 million in its fourth weekend.
