As expected, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" enjoyed a huge box-office opening with $139.5 million and a worldwide total of $283.5 million. While that's a big chunk of change, "Breaking Dawn" failed to match the head-spinning opening gross of "New Moon" which debuted with a $142.8 million in 2009.

Meanwhile, the dancing penguins were not that happy. "Happy Feet Two" failed to attract moviegoers with just a $22 million opening to debut at No. 2. But Warner Bros. is hopeful that audiences will re-discover their own happy this Thanksgiving weekend!
