Box Office Numbers: Bollywhoa'dIt's no surprise that the final Twilight film topped the box office with a resounding $141m this past weekend. I mean, that's what's come to be expected from such a high profile franchise entry, right? Hopefully this marks a shift in focus for Kristen Stewart towards scripts where she's actually allowed to show just how dynamic her acting ability is. There's honestly no sarcasm in that last sentence. However, what's more impressive (and surprising) is the Bollywood film Jab Tak Hal Jaan making $1.25m in 161 theaters, making an average of $7,763 at each location. That's a way more impressive number, especially considering the assumed lack of vampire/wolf sex. Anyways, the rest of this weekend's numbers are below. [via Rentrak] 1. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 - $141,300,000 2. Skyfall - $41,500,000 3. Lincoln - $21,000,000 4. Wreck-It Ralph - $18,312,000 5. Flight - $8,615,000 6. Argo - $4,070,000 7. Taken 2 - $2,100,000 8. Pitch Perfect - $1,262,250 9. Jab Tak Hai Jaan - $1,250,000 10. Here Comes the Boom - $1,200,000 Did you know?

9:00 AM on 05.13.2013 Box Office Numbers: The Great CatsbyThe Great Gatsby had a moderately decent opening weekend, pulling $51m+ in ticket sales. However, that wasn't enough to take down the superhero-filled Iron Man 3. Maybe if Baz Luhrmann tapped into his feline alter-ego, Baz Purrman, and created The Great Catsby. No yarn or mice would ever be safe again! The rest of the weekend's box office numbers are below. [via Rentrak]
