Another weekend, another win for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. The latest Twilight movie claimed the top spot at the box office for the third-straight weekend thanks to an average hold and a comparatively poor second-weekend performance from its biggest competitor, The Muppets.
Breaking Dawn dropped 60 percent to $16.5 million. That tally is the best third-weekend gross out of all of the Twilight movies including New Moon.
