Vampiring is quite the lucrative business. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" raked in an unbelievable $140 million during its opening weekend. This is the third highest opening weekend trailing only "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" .吸血鬼主題的影視作品真是有錢賺。“《暮光之城：破曉》”首映第一周就創下了讓人難以相信的1.4億票房。這也讓它成為影視首周票房成績第三名，僅次于《哈利·波特與死亡圣器2》和《暮光之城：新月》。

Coming in a distant second, and with a disappointing take of only $22 million, was the animated penguin film "Happy Feet Two." By way of comparison, "Happy Feet" collected nearly $42 million on its opening weekend.如此好的票房成績跟本周票房排名第二的《快樂的大腳》拉開了相當大的距離。《快樂的大腳2》首周票房成績是4千2百萬。

Rounding out the top five were "Immortals" , "Jack and Jill" and "Puss in Boots" .本周票房榜前5名還包括《驚天戰神》、《杰克和吉爾》以及《穿靴子的貓》。

As if the $140 million domestic take wasn't enough, The Wrap is reporting it brought in an additional $144 million internationally.如果1億4千萬的本國票房還不夠的話，Wrap的數據顯示國際市場加分1億4千4百萬票房。
