Breaking Dawn 2 Grossed a Staggering $341 Million on Opening Weekend
Finally the sun has set on the Twilight franchise but not without leaving us with numerous earth shattering records. When the light went out, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 sucked up $141.3 million domestically over its opening weekend and $199.6 million more overseas for a worldwide debut of $340.9 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday. The finale ranks eighth on the list of all-time domestic debuts, and leaves Twilight with three of the top-10 openings, joining 2009's New Moon (No. 7 with $142.8 million) and last year's Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (No. 9 with $138.1 million)
Last May's The Avengers grossed $207.4 million. Batman is the only other franchise with more than one top-10 opening: last July's The Dark Knight Rises (No. 3 with $160.9 million) and 2008's The Dark Knight (No. 4 with $158.4 million)
Though Twilight is a female-driven franchise, with girls and women making up 79 percent of the opening-weekend audience, the finale drew the biggest male crowds in the series. Action-minded guys had more to root for in the finale as Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner join in a bloody battle to end the story of warring vampires and werewolves.
