The latest installment in the Twilight franchise, starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, brought in an estimated $16.9 million in ticket sales.
Second place went to The Muppets, which dropped more quickly than expected but still earned a strong $11.2 million.
Variety reports that both Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan‘s Shame and George Clooney‘s The Descendants have been faring well in limited release.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson‘s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I topped the Thanksgiving box office with an impressive $62.3 million in ticket sales!
Jason Segel‘s The Muppets took second place with $42 million, while Happy Feet Two finished in third with $18.4 million, Variety reports.
Newcomers Arthur Christmas and Martin Scorsese‘s Hugo brought in $17 million and $15.4 million, respectively.
Variety notes that while Breaking Dawn and The Muppets had strong showings, neither matched last year’s box office totals by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I and Tangled.
