"Twilight" shines in third box office win over Bond
Cast members Robert Pattinson (R), Kristen Stewart (C) and Taylor Lautner pose for pictures before the German premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 in Berlin, November 16, 2012.
The "Twilight" teen vampire movie shined again at US and Canadian box offices, earning US$17.4 million and its third consecutive No. 1 ranking as James Bond held strong and Brad Pitt's new movie struggled.
"Twilight" finale "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" finished just ahead of "Skyfall," the 23rd film in the Bond franchise about British superspy 007. "Skyfall" rang up sales of US$17 million domestically between Friday and Sunday.
"Breaking Dawn - Part 2" has pulled in US$254.6 million since its release while "Skyfall" has grossed US$246 million, putting both among the top films of the year.
