The question about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 is not whether it will be the top movie at this weekend's box office (almost a given, I'd be shocked if that didn't happen), but how much moola it will rake in from TwiHards who are frothing at the mouth for another dose of sparkly vampire goodness, care of stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Industry estimates have this first Breaking Dawn movie taking in as much as $140 million in it's opening weekend (roughly the same amount that Twilight: New Moon made in it's debut two years ago).
Breaking Dawn promises more of the formula that's made Twilight such a wildly successful book and movie franchise: drama, angst and super-hot vampires and werewolves (can't leave Taylor Lautner out of the mix, now can I?). Without giving anything away for those who haven't read the book: A lot of stuff happens in this one. And yes, I'm talking about the long-awaited Bella and Edward wedding and - ahem - honeymoon, but there's more, trust me.

True to form, this latest Twilight installment is proving popular in foreign markets already. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Twilight: Breaking Dawn took in nearly $9 million in just five foreign markets (Italy, Belgium, Australia, Sweden and France) over two days this week! That's big. Very big, though it's slightly less than The Twilight Saga: Eclipse made under roughly the same circumstances.
Will "Breaking Dawn" be the highest-grossing movie in the Twilight Saga franchise? Could be. Either way, I'm Team Edward, I've had my ticket for weeks now, and I can't wait to see this movie!
Okay fans, weigh in: Are you seeing midnight Breaking Dawn screenings? Will you wait for a (cheaper) matinee, instead?
