Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson in 'Twilight Breaking Dawn'

Cinema Static on Brusimm reader, Jen C., went and saw The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – part 1 movie last night.  After a wee bit of badgering, begging and asking, she sent me her perspective, or movie review of Breaking Dawn.  This review comes from the perspective of an adult, as you might be able to tell by her commentary.

Thanks Jen!!!

(If you trust my perspectives on movies, I would happily say you can extend that trust to Jen’s perspective also.  I trust what she has to say about movies.  We’re of a similar mind that way.)

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, from Summit Entertainment, is directed by Bill Condon, who is another in a long line of directors that have been tasked by Summit to bring the Twilight book franchise to life.  It’s fascinating that they continually tap new directorial talent to bring the franchise to life.  I presume it’s a cost saving measure, but that’s just a guess on my part.

As if you didn’t know, Twilight: Breaking Dawn stars Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Peter Facinelli, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, and oh yea, Robert Pattinson.

Check out the guest movie review after the break:

Cinema Static Box Office Numbers - Top-10 MoviesIf you’re wondering about the top-10 movies at the box office:  Twilight: Breaking Dawn pt 1 put the bite on The Muppets, Arthur Christmas and Hugo!

As expected, despite some huge family anticipated favorites coming out for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Pt 1), maintained its grip on the top spot of the box office tallies beating out the three new movies that were hoping for that coveted number 1 spot.

Now unlike much of the media, I’m not going to spend time comparing this to that and that to this… meaning how well Breaking Dawn is doing versus New Moon, etc.  Or how this year, the Thanksgiving movies fared against last years’ and so forth.

Nah, I’m just looking at this weekend, now.  In the time frame we’re living this moment.  With that said,

These are all industry estimates

Twilight: Breaking Dawn pt 1, will be raking in $42M for Robert Pattinson, Kirsten Stewart and Taylor Lautner, bringing the movie gross tally to a whopping $221M take at the box office.  (I hope they’re saving their money from this windfall!)

The best performing new movie that came out this weekend that tried competing with the love of vampires and werewolves, was The Muppets, who will probably pull in just under $30M.

Happy Feet Two retained a top-five spot, cranking in just over $13M, and staying ahead of the next new movie, Arthur Christmas.  Arthur mustered up just under $13M in holiday money.
