Vampire Weekend: Final “Twilight” Makes $141 Mil Opening 3 Days

Share

“Twilight: Breaking Wind, Part 2” took in $141 million, plus it has another $200 million abroad, for stupendous opening, breaking wind, dawn, and other records for vampires who can’t act in a campy trilogy-plus-one. Congratulations, world. In five years, these things will be remaindered to the dustbin of time, like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and half a dozen other Pet Rocks of the moment. (Remember when you were buying Paris Hilton’s jewelry on amazon?) Look for Taylor Lautner’s face on a Pez dispenser, and Robert Pattinson enjoying class reunions at the Night of 100 Stars with Luke Perry. Until then, Stephanie Meyers is getting the last laugh, and the LionsGate-Summit coffers- or is it coffins–are filling up exponentially. It’s all good. Just sayin. But…not so much.
