Last Week’s Results
The final film in the Twilight franchise finally hit theaters, but failed to surpass the opening weekend numbers of its predecessor. It may not be series fatigue, but some had said that the second half would be the least exciting of the two split films. Lincoln performed very well in its expansion wide while Bollywood flick Jab Tak Hai Jaan made a surprise entry into the week’s Top 10.
