"BREAKING DAWN PT. 1" IS SECOND-HIGHEST OPENING FOR "TWILIGHT"

Still from Breaking Dawn Pt. 1

As you can see, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 was an epic failure at the Box Office this weekend.  Hardly anyone saw it.  LOL Just kidding. This latest installment tallied $139.5 million, the Twilight Franchise's second-highest opening weekend ever right behind 2009's A New Moon, which opened with $142.8 million. Early numbers projected that it would bring-in upwards of $140 million but nonetheless, this is highly impressive and $72 million of that alone came from its opening day. Internationally, it fared amazingly well with $283.5 million.

Happy Feet 2 opened this weekend with $22 million for Warner Bros. which by all means is good, but still far off the mark of the $41.5 million its predecessor made back in 2006.  It was an ambitious task opening the same weekend as Breaking Dawn Pt. 1, as much of that Female audience's (including Moms) attentions were spent there.

Immortals continues to do well in third this weekend with $12.3 million in its second week of release, just ahead of horrendously-reviewed Adam Sandler-in-drag fare Jack and Jill with $12 million.

Puss in Boots finds itself in fifth spot this weekend with $10.7 million, to-date earning $122.3 million.  J. Edgar in its second week slips to seventh spot with $5.9 million, uncharacteristically weak for a Film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

At the bottom of the Top Ten is The Descendants starring George Clooney, which appears to be garnering him lots of Oscars Best Actor and Best Picture buzz.  It sets a record for highest grossing Film from fewest number of Theatres, earning $1.2 million from just 29 screens.

"IMMORTALS" IS GOD AT THE BOX OFFICE

Still from Immortals

Huge weekend at the Box Office! After much fanfare, Immortals finds itself on-top with $32 million from 3,112 theatres. Despite not faring quite as well with Critics (37% on the Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer), audiences clearly are responding to  Director Tarsem Singh's latest effort. This likely will bode well for his next effort, Mirror Mirror starring Lily Collins, Armie Hammer and Julia Roberts.  Immortals was made for $75 million and likely will recoup this back quickly.  It's official, Henry Cavill is a Star.

Although it's been panned universally (at one point last week weighing-in at 0% at the Tomatometer), Jack and Jill still performs respectfully for Universal Pictures in its debut with $27.5 million.  The Adam Sandler Comedy has him playing both Brother and Sister roles, placing it just ahead of last week's number one Film Puss in Boots with $27 million for Paramount Pictures.

Debuting in fifth spot with weak reviews is Clint Eastwood's disappointing J. Edgar Hoover Biopic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer.  The Drama brings in $12 million from 1,901 theatres, which actually puts it on-par with Eastwood's 2010 effort, Hereafter.

Surprisingly still hanging-in is Disney's Real Steel in tenth spot with $2 million this weekend in its sixth week of release. Domestically, it has garnered $81.5 million and internationally it has made $207 million in its run thus far.
