Twilight Vampire series is going out in style. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 topped the worldwide weekend box office with a sizeable $340.9 million opening, including $141.3 million domestically from 4,070 theaters and $199.6 million internationally from 61 markets.
Domestically, Breaking Dawn 2 wasn't able to match the $142.8 million opening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon on the same weekend in 2009, but it did open ahead of the $138.1 million grossed by The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1 on the same weekend last year, thanks in part to especially strong Saturday traffic and an A CinemaScore.
Overseas, Breaking Dawn 2 opened well ahead of previous Twilight films in almost every territory.
Directed by Bill Condon, Breaking Dawn 2 returns Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson andTaylor Lautner in the lead roles for a final time.
The Twilight franchise has been a resounding victory for all involved, and put Summit Entertainment on the map.
Breaking Dawn 2 drew more males than any previous title in the series, who made up 21 percent of those buying tickts. Agewise, 50 percent of the audience was 25 years and older.
