Neither the classic Jim Henson characters of The Muppets nor the Black Friday events were enough to sway the effect that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 has on audiences everywhere! The vampire love story took the top spot at the box office for the second week in a row, pulling in $41.6 million for the long Thanksgiving weekend -- bringing its box office total to $220.8 million.
Amy Adams and Jason Segel claimed the #2 spot at $29.2 million with The Muppets in its first week, bumping Happy Feet Two down to #3 with $13.4 million in its second week. The animated holiday film Arthur Christmas and Martin Scorcese's latest film Hugo took fourth and fifth with $12 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

Robert Pattinson’s Two Week Abs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Robert Pattinson only had abs for "two weeks" during filming of The Twilight Saga. The British actor admits it was tough for him to be excessively working out while playing the role of vampire Edward Cullen in the movie, and while he tried very hard to buff up like his co-star Taylor Lautner, he lapsed back into old habits after a short space of time.
"Taylor just ruined the whole series for me. As soon as he buffed up, I went, 'Well I'm throwing in the towel on New Moon. I didn't eat candy and I didn't drink any beer for a while. I went kind of nuts. Me and Kristen went nuts working out, because we hadn't worked out for any of [the previous films] I had the abs for, like, two weeks. As soon as I didn't have to be shirtless anymore, [my good habits were] gone immediately."
In the end, the hunky star admits he gave up entirely, and ate endlessly on the shoot for the last movie Breaking Dawn. "During filming in Brazil, the day before I had to do my shirtless scene, I realized my abs weren't as good as Taylor's, so I just ate every bit of chocolate in the mini-bar. I started eating cheeseburgers and stuff."

Rumor holds that actress Mackenzie Foy is very close to being cast as Renesmee Cullen, daughter of Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart), in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2.
Foy doesn’t have a lot of experience in the industry, with a few commercials and three brief TV appearances on record.
The video above is a fan-made glimpse at what the world of Twilight would look like with Mackenzie Foy in it.

VIDEO: Faux Breaking Dawn Trailer
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Romance, Satire, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Warning: Explicit language and spoilers!
Production on the film hasn’t started yet, but we’ve got a Breaking Dawn trailer just the same…after a fashion. The trailer uses the story line from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, the novel, to mock a few of the more ridiculous story elements which (we think) will be featured in the upcoming full-length movie.
If you haven’t read the books and don’t want to know the plot, don’t click!
