Love conquers all and the box office apparently thanks to the final installment of the Twlight saga. "Breaking Dawn Part 2" not only finished with $340 million worldwide, but this is definitely one if not the most enthralling chapter in the franchise. The old adage/cliché of "they saved the best for last" definitely applies here.

"Breaking Dawn Part 2" finished with just over $141 million domestically, which is good for 8th place on the all-time list for opening weekends. Only "New Moon" (2009) did better in the movie series on its opening weekend with $142,839,137 (7th place all-time). Last summer's "The Avengers" continues to hold the top spot on the list with an opening weekend take of over $207 million.
