The sun has set on the "Twilight" franchise with one last blockbuster opening for the supernatural romance. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2" sucked up $141.3 million domestically over opening weekend and $199.6 million more overseas for a worldwide debut of $340.9 million.

Kristen Stewart finally got to be a vampire in the final "Twilight" movie.

The finale ranks eighth on the list of all-time domestic debuts, and leaves "Twilight" with three of the top-10 openings, joining 2009's "New Moon" (No. 7 with $142.8 million) and last year's "Breaking Dawn — Part 1" (No. 9 with $138.1 million).

Last May's "The Avengers" is No. 1 with $207.4 million. "Batman" is the only other franchise with more than one top-10 opening: last July's "The Dark Knight Rises" (No. 3 with $160.9 million) and 2008's "The Dark Knight" (No. 4 with $158.4 million). 

Though "Twilight" still is a female-driven franchise, with girls and women making up 79 percent of the opening-weekend audience, the finale drew the biggest male crowds in the series. Action-minded guys had more to root for in the finale as Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner join in a colossal battle to end the story of warring vampires and werewolves.

"Our male audience particularly has enjoyed this film," said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Lionsgate, whose Summit Entertainment banner releases the "Twilight" movies. "With the action scenes in this one, we're hoping the holdover business will reflect the fact that males have kind of found it out."

The movie also helped lift Lionsgate into the big leagues among Hollywood studios. Paced by its $400 million smash with "The Hunger Games" and now the "Twilight" finale, Lionsgate surpassed $1 billion at the domestic box office for the first time.

Some box-office watchers had expected the last "Twilight" movie to open with a franchise record the way the "Harry Potter" finale did last year with $169.2 million, the second-best domestic debut on the charts.

"I thought that for the final installment, it might eclipse the franchise record, but to look at $141.3 million and say that's a disappointment, that's kind of crazy," said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "It's one of the most consistently performing franchises of all time."

The "Twilight" finale took over the No. 1 spot from Sony's James Bond adventure "Skyfall," which slipped to second-place with $41.5 million domestically in its second weekend. "Skyfall" raised its domestic total to $161.3 million.

The franchise's third film starring Daniel Craig as Bond, "Skyfall" began rolling out overseas in late October and has hit $507.9 million internationally at the box office. The film's global total climbed to $669.2 million, helping to lift Sony to its best year ever with $4 billion worldwide, topping the studio's $3.6 billion haul in 2009.

"Skyfall" passed the previous franchise high of $599.2 million worldwide for 2006's "Casino Royale."

Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis' Civil War drama "Lincoln" expanded nationwide after a week in limited release and came in at No. 3 with $21 million. Distributed by Disney, "Lincoln" lifted its domestic haul to $22.4 million.

The comic drama "Silver Linings Playbook," released by the Weinstein Co., got off to a good start in limited release, taking in $458,430 in 16 theaters for a solid average of $28,652 a cinema. By comparison, the "Twilight" finale averaged $34,717 in 4,070 theaters.

"Silver Linings Playbook" stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro in a quirky romance involving a man fresh out of a psychiatric hospital and an emotionally troubled young widow.

Keira Knightley's period drama "Anna Karenina" also started well in limited release with $315,395 in 16 theaters, for an average of $19,712. The Focus Features film stars Knightley in the title role of Leo Tolstoy's tragic romance.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1. "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2," $141.3 million ($199.6 million international).

Reports from the red carpet of the "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2" premieres around the world mostly centered around Kristen Stewart and her (ex?) boyfriend Robert Pattinson. Did they touch? Did they seem happy together?

From left to right: Kristen In Los Angeles, in London, at the Madrid premiere and earlier that day, at a photocall in a Madrid hotel.

But perhaps knowing she was in the spotlight, Stewart walked the red carpet in sheer, short and sexy dresses that definitely distracted from her relationship scandal.   

In Los Angeles and London, Stewart wore daring sheer dresses by Zuhair Murad. The next day at a hotel in Madrid, she picked a black and white Julien Macdonald dress with a fierce beaded neckline. That night, she turned up the sunny factor in a yellow mini by Christian Dior.

REVIEW: There's been a lot of fuss recently about The New York Times' review of Guy Fieri's Times Square restaurant, Guy's American Bar and Grill. Some felt that a snooty reviewer had tried to hold a casual eatery up to standards of four-star dining places, and that Fieri's restaurant would have fared better if it was critiqued for what it was, not for what it could never be.

Summit Entertainment

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson wrap up the "Twilight" saga in "Breaking Dawn Part 2."

Use those standards, then, when judging "Breaking Dawn Part 2," the fifth and final movie in the "Twilight" series. This movie will never be "Citizen Kane," or even "Bridesmaids." It doesn't matter. Those who loved the books and regularly daydream additional adventures for Bella and clan will not expect Oscar-winning dialogue and acting. 

That doesn't mean that the studio has an excuse to lazily throw up a few hand puppets against postcard backgrounds. It just means there's only so much you can do with a story whose source material includes a spine-cracking birth scene, blood being guzzled through straws and vampire baseball.

It's fairly easy to say that almost everyone who was looking forward to seeing "Breaking Dawn Part 2" will enjoy themselves, as the film wraps up the series in a satisfying way, and a neat twist to the credits sequence pays tribute to the characters from all the previous movies. And yes, things don't exactly pan out as they did in the "Breaking Dawn" book, so even fans who've memorized that tome may find some surprises. There's also a brief sneak peek into the characters' future that brought gasps from some of the fans in my screening.

Kristen Stewart as Bella is breathtakingly beautiful as a vampire, with eyes changing from blood red to a hauntingly deep brown, and luxurious locks that a shampoo model would envy. She's not really required to act too much here -- sometimes she just looks like she smelled something bad in the room, and when she attacks someone she thinks is threatening her child, it's with the same attitude Elaine on "Seinfeld" used when telling someone to "Get out!"

The lines, oh, the lines. "We're the same temperature now," Robert Pattinson's Edward says wonderingly to Bella. "It's your turn not to break me," he warns her after noting her new vamp strength. (That might have been about the time a tween behind me sighed, "God, he's GORGEOUS!")

The vampire's super-speed running is still hilarious, as believable as that of Steve Austin in "The Six Million Dollar Man" back in 1975, but thankfully the CGI wolves aren't talking this time around. (There's a really cringeworthy sequence where one of them is ridden like a horse.)

Thank the vampire and werewolf gods for Taylor Lautner, though. He not only takes off his shirt to display those washboard abs, he strips down completely (in a PG-13 way) in one scene. And his Jacob also gets many of the best lines, pointing out some of the most ludicrous plot points with wry humor. When a character wonders if Bella can transform into a wolf too, he snorts, "She wishes she was that awesome."

Summit Entertainment

Vampires from around the globe gather in Forks, Wash. to help out the Cullen coven.

The plot involves the Cullen coven gathering vampire pals from around the planet to help them convince the ruling Volturi to leave Bella and Edward's half-human daughter, Renesmee, alone. This leads to a gathering of supermodel-gorgeous young people (no one old or fat ever gets to be a vampire, apparently) in stiletto heels and some national-stereotype costumes.

And then there's a fight. Hands are cut off. Heads roll. Or do they? You kind of have to see it for yourself. There was a 4-year-old girl at my screening, and during several blood-splattering scenes, I wondered what she was thinking.

But if you're not 4, and the "Twilight" books are your guilty or not-so-guilty pleasure, gather your coven and head out for the wild, weird finale that puts a blood-red bow on the blockbuster series.

Vampires are immortal, right? What about shapeshifting wolves? Fittingly, fans aren't ready to let the "Twilight" series die with this week's release of "Breaking Dawn Part 2."

Taylor Lautner at the premiere of "Breaking Dawn Part 2."

Various reports, including this Moviehole post, claim that the supernatural cash cow isn't going to be allowed to head out to pasture and that a spinoff, maybe focusing on Jacob Black's Wolfpack, and maybe on TV rather than in theaters, is a possibility.

Ryan Seacrest asked Black's portrayer, Taylor Lautner, about this rumor on his radio show Monday, but naturally Lautner couldn't or wouldn't confirm that any such plan is in the works.

“I honestly know as much as you do,” Lautner said. “The only thing that I’ve heard is whatever’s online and people are talking about.”

But when Seacrest asked him if he's ready to recreate his role, the 20-year-old actor was enthused. “I love this franchise and this character and everybody involved so much, I absolutely would have to consider it," he said.

Earlier this month, Lautner's co-star Robert Pattinson told Australia's Herald Sun that he kept "hearing things" about a future for the franchise. Pattinson told the paper he didn't rule out a return to playing Edward Cullen, saying "I don't say 'definitely not' to anything, just in case."

Pattinson had previously joked to Total Film that "Twilight" should be rebooted as "a straight-up porn film." And author Stephenie Meyer has mulled the possibility of a new life for "Twilight" focusing on Bella and Edward's daughter Renesmee.

It's finally here. The vampire battle royale is about to begin as "Breaking Dawn Part 2" wraps up the mammoth "Twilight" saga with the fifth and final film. Also this week: Pixar's lively "Brave" hits home video, the American Music Awards rock out.

Summit Entertainment

The final "Twilight" battle begins this week.

TUESDAY: 'Brave' on DVD

It may not be top-level Pixar a la "Toy Story," but this year's "Brave," the story of a flame-haired Scottish princess whose fight with her queen mother turns bad, is definitely worth seeing.  Redheaded Merida is a dynamo, and her curls fly around like fireflies. The story drags a bit once a witch's spell changes the mother-daughter relationship, but this film is still a hit for kid-centered homes with parents dying for a new movie to watch 93,564,274,052 times in a row. (Out on DVD and Blu-ray Nov. 13.)

FRIDAY: 'Breaking Dawn Part 2'

"Twilight" fans and foes, your moment is here. If you hate the uber-popular vampire saga, rejoice, because this is the last movie in the five-film series, and you soon won't have to hear about Team Edward and Team Jacob any more. If you're a fan, you're not reading this because you're already camped out on the street waiting to be the first on your block to see "Breaking Dawn Part 2." "Part 1" was family focused, with Bella and Edward finding first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Bella with a half-vampire infant in a baby carriage. Renesmee is growing up fast, and her very existence has set up a giant vampire brawl for it all, with the royal Volturi coming from Italy to try and destroy the child. Good luck with that. (Opens Nov. 16.)

SUNDAY (NOV. 18): American Music Awards

The American Music Awards may not be the Grammys, but the live show will have plenty of star-studded moments anyway. Christina Aguilera will be among the performers, and Nicki Minaj and Rihanna top this year's nominees. There'll also be a new electronic music category introduced -- naturally, Skrillex is nominated. (Nov. 18, 8 p.m., ABC.)

It hasn't been a great year for movies. ("John Carter" or "That's My Boy," anyone?) But start popping the popcorn, because it's time to escape to the movie theater again. November may just be the best month for movies so far this year, with James Bond returning, the "Twilight" vampires gathering for the final fight, and famous faces from books and history moving on to the big screen.

Francois Duhamel / MGM/Columbia Pictures

Daniel Craig in "Skyfall."

Here's a look at some of the bigger films coming to a cineplex near you:

NOV. 9
'Skyfall'
Bond is back, and it's about time. It's been four years since "Quantum of Solace" came out, and thanks to MGM's financial troubles, it seemed for a while as if the super spy wasn't going to make it back. But now that he has, previews look positive. It features a nice juicy role for Judi Dench's M, and who doesn't love her in that role? James Adams at Toronto's Globe and Mail has high praise for the film, writing, "Skyfall is one of the best Bonds in the 50-year history of moviedom's most successful franchise."

'Lincoln'
Steven Spielberg never picks tiny topics. The filmmaker's latest is "Lincoln," with Daniel Day-Lewis playing the beloved president, Sally Field as his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as their son, Robert Todd Lincoln. The film focuses on the last months of Lincoln's life, including the Union victory in the Civil War and the ending of slavery.

NOV. 16
'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2'
"Twilight" fans need to see their vampire saga wind up in a big way, especially after "Breaking Dawn Part 1," with its interminable Bella pregnancy and bloody birth scene. It's time for some good old-fashioned vampire butt-kicking, and since Bella is now just as much a vampire as husband Edward, the film should get right to the good stuff. And yes, for some folks, the only "good stuff" here is that the franchise is finally over. Unless Stephenie Meyer has another dream ...  

NOV. 23
'Life of Pi'
If you were in a book club in 2001 or 2002, you probably read "Life of Pi." It's a complex and beautiful fable that's hard to explain, but suffice to say a young man finds himself out at sea in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Ang Lee of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" fame directed the film version, of which Film.com raves, "There isn't a dull moment in the film, and there are about 300 worthy of a wow.'"

'Red Dawn'
"WOLVERINES!" "AVENGE ME!" The 1984 version of "Red Dawn" is so wonderfully campy, yet it's hard to meet anyone who was in high school or college in the 1980s who didn't see it. You know the plot: America is invaded and it's up to a wily group of high schoolers to fight for freedom. In this month's remake, the enemy's the Chinese, not the Russians, and Tom Cruise's son, Connor, is one of the young stars. We're not saying this is Oscar quality, we just like saying "WOLVERINES!"

NOV. 23
'Hitchcock'
Good eeeeeevening. Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock's recognizable voice and rotund shape, along with his classic films, make him a pop-culture favorite. But you don't have to know anything about the man himself to have an interest in "Hitchcock," the biopic about the director's work on his horror classic, "Psycho," and his relationship with his wife, Alma.  Anthony Hopkins looks fabulous in trailers, and Helen Mirren matches him step-for-step as Alma.

Robert Pattinson promotes "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" in Sydney, Australia, on Oct. 22.

By the fourth film, Robert Pattinson knows how to promote "Twilight": just talk up the sex scene! In a new interview with Australian talk show Kyle and Jackie O, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" actor teased Twi-hards with new details about his love scene with Kristen Stewart. 

PHOTOS: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' 

"The sex scene in this one is pretty ridiculous," Pattinson, 26, revealed. In addition to being a newlywed and new mom, Bella (Stewart) also becomes a vampire in the final "Twilight" film. "It's just because you're kind of shooting stuff to be PG-13 ... It's just trying to think of inventive ways to make something sexy," the actor explained. "It can't just be a normal sex scene. It's supposed to be about, like, the greatest vampire sex you've ever had." 

PHOTOS: Rob and Kristen's Romance 

And it was difficult to film -- in front of a big crew! Pattinson and his real-life girlfriend of three years, Stewart, 22, were directed to show faces of "ecstasy." 

"We're doing it just to the camera, and the camera man is laughing as well," he said of the close-up shot with a crew of 40 people watching. He added, "Guys faces I don't think are really designed to do [that]." 

PHOTOS: Kristen cheats on Rob with Rupert Sanders -- all the shocking photos! 

Another highlight of Pattinson's new interview? He admits he cried while watching "Marley and Me." 

"I was so surprised," he said of the film's ending. "I was like devastated." 

"Literally I never want to see it again, it was horrible," he added. "It was like looking at war footage. I can't take it, I hate people, but I love dogs." 

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" opens in theaters Nov. 16.

Spoiler alert: If you don't want to know about the post-credits scene in "Breaking Dawn Part 2," stop reading now.

"Twilight" fans may be dreading the moment when the final scene ends during "Breaking Dawn Part 2" and the movie's credits begin to roll. But even once that happens, Twihards should stay glued to their seats -- and not just because they want to see the name of the film's craft services director roll by.

Nikki Reed, who plays vampire Rosalie in the movie, recently revealed to MTV News that the film will feature a post-credits scene showing all 150 cast members performing a choreographed dance number. And apparently it was a surprise only to the film's director, Bill Condon.

"It was a surprise moment on set that was pretty incredible," the 24-year-old told the outlet. "That day, there were about 150 of us, and we all came together and surprised Bill. ... It took a couple of practice runs, and we had one drill sergeant who was in charge of gathering everyone. I got really into it. I was so into it that I wanted to be in the front row."

Reed's not the only one who's talked about the scene. Kellan Lutz, who plays vampire Emmett Cullen, Rosalie's husband, told The Insider that the cast has been encouraged to tell fans not to leave the theater early.

"They're really going to love it, and Bill even told me to tell fans to stay for the credits — a really special thing is happening after the surprise ending," Lutz said. 

The actors who play vampires from the Denali coven have also talked about the scene. Maggie Grace, Mia Maestro and Casey LaBow discussed the dance at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this summer.

"We needed the morale boost, I think, to unite us all in vampirehood and joy," Grace said.

The "Twilight" cast won't be the first to engage in a giant dance. In 2008, "Slumdog Millionaire" features the cast dancing a lively choreographed number to "Jai Ho," which won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best song.

Maestro said she organized the "Twilight" dance, which is set to the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," with a hint of another famed 1980s hit.

"There's a vampire thing in there," Grace told MTV News. "A little 'Thriller.' "

The film, which opens on Nov. 16, has already sold over $1 million worth of tickets.

Well, this is awkward. In the just released trailer for "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part Two," recently single Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella, says that not only is her "time as a human was over" but that she "thought [they] would be safe forever, but forever isn't as long as [she] hoped"...

The last trailer for the upcoming final installment of the "Twilight Saga" centers around the Volturi setting out to start a war against the Cullens and features Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner as well as Dakota Fanning, alongside a ferocious K.Stew.

The flick picks up where part one left off, following the birth of Bella and Edward's child Renesmee Cullen and her mistaken identity as a mortal child, leading the Volturi to set out to destroy Renesmee.

Along with the excitement the trailer is sure to bring Twi-hards, comes the burning question of how K.Stew and R.Patz will handle press interviews and upcoming red carpets?!

We can't wait.

The full "Breaking Dawn Part 2" teaser reveals a whole new Bella Swan. She's not the wimpy, clumsy, protect-me-Edward girl she was in the first four "Twilight" films. Now she's a vampire, a mom, a wife, and one heck of a fighter.

"Eighteen years of being utterly ordinary, I finally found where I could shine," Bella (Kristen Stewart) says. "I was born to be a vampire."

And the role does seem to agree with her. We only see Bella briefly, but she has a determination and a fierceness that hasn't been seen in her character before.

When she tells daughter Renesmee, "I'll never let anybody hurt you," you believe her, and when she lines up with the other Cullens to take on the Volturi in what looks like a fang-filled version of "Red Rover, Red Rover," she looks like a woman on a mission.

Don't mess with Mama Vampire, Volturi.

Here's where we are in 2012, moviegoers. We don't just anticipate trailers for movies, we anticipate teaser trailers from movies (shorter versions of the trailers), and we don't just anticipate teaser trailers, but previews of teaser trailers (even shorter clips). Got that?

So today, there's a preview clip available from a teaser trailer for "Breaking Dawn Part 2," which doesn't come out until Nov. 16.

In the clip, you do see baby and young girl versions of Renesmee, though you don't see her face -- which is OK, since she's on the cover of Entertainment Weekly this week.

Viewers also get to see Bella with her blazing vampire eyes, and what certainly seems like a hint of more backbone and strength, thanks to her new status.

And of course the Volturi show up, briefly, all dressed up and ready to kick some Cullen butt for protecting what the Volturi believe to be an immortal child -- a child bitten by a vampire -- which Renesmee is not. "She was born, not bitten, she grows every single day," Bella protests.

A full teaser trailer will be released Wednesday, which is also Edward Cullen's 111th birthday, according to Stephenie Meyer's books. No need to gift-wrap some Geritol -- he may be past the century mark, but he's not exactly elderly.

Renesmee Cullen is finally revealed on the cover of the June 22, 2012 edition of Entertainment Weekly.

"Twilight" fans have been wondering about Renesmee Cullen's looks ever since they first read about her birth in "Breaking Dawn." She arrived on the movie screen in "Breaking Dawn Part 1," but fans didn't get a good look at the half-vampire, half-human child until now.

Renesmee (played by 11-year-old Mackenzie Foy) appears on the cover of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly with her movie parents, Bella (Kristin Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), as well as Jacob (Taylor Lautner), who imprinted upon her at birth and has become her protector.

Foy's Renesmee is lovely, with long dark curls similar to Stewart's, and a serious, most un-childlike expression. In the Entertainment Weekly article, even Stewart commented that the young actress looked like she could really be related to her on-screen parents. "Even our hands look similar,” she told EW. "It was kind of strange."

Cast and crew had only positive words for Foy, but Pattinson said that the adults on-set had to curb their casual language around her. "She had a little swear jar, and I think she made 850 bucks or something," he told the magazine.

"Breaking Dawn Part 2" hits theaters Nov. 18.
