A thing to note about Grown Ups is that its second Sunday was the 4th of July when people wouldn't be going out at night to see a movie. That's why it was a steeper second weekend drop for that.

This just shows that online opinions and blogs count for little when it comes to Twilight. Just as it mattered little when it came to Scream 4.

Silly boys, you know men when it comes to Twilight, they become such little babies! I love the Twilight series! Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was amazing! Oh, God, the only thing that's going through my head to describe this movie, it's like sex with an orgasm at the end of it!

''There's a lesson here, and it involves someone not complaining next time there's a mass genocide.''

Seriously? Twilight may well be the biggest piece of trash in a long while but that is an absolutely disgusting comment. As someone who's ancestors were slaughtered in the Holocaust I am outraged at this comment. Gabe Toro should be held accountable for this and if nothing is done by his superiors then that says a LOT . But hey it's The Playlist, you guys aren't exactly the epitome of class and tact.

Absolutely disgusting comment.

1) Scott Fendelman – shut the fuck up. Don't act like Jews were the only people to experience an attempted genocide.

2) Irena – don't like act you've ever experienced an orgasm. Twilight is the closest you'll get.

3) Gabe Toro – dude, what did you expect? You knew these numbers were coming.

Two things: Twilight will not break Harry Potter's record, it isn't the culminaiton of a decade long event from a series that sold 200m+ copies, the biggest franchise of all time, and even Twi-hards hated the end of that horrid book. #2: You said Descendants only opened on 29 screens, it's in 29 theaters not the same thing.

Goodness, what is the world coming to?
Itâs not just that these are bad movies. I also just canât understand their appeal on any level. Theyâre so awkwardly put together that they seem less like real movies and more like some odd, underhanded deal with the Rifftrax people.
Between these flicks and everything Michael Bay ever does, we seem to have culturally conditioned everyone to expect the lowest possible standards and to then accommodate their lives accordingly.

What "LILLA" said.

It's one thing for people to find the films a guilty pleasure based on your interest in their novel counterparts, but for anyone to say they're well acted, directed, and written just shows how stupid they are. This is Hollywood hustling people at its finest.

I grew up a Transformers fan as a kid, but I barely made it through the first film and didn't bother returning for its intelligence insulting sequels. But, hey… little girls (and their mothers) will buy into anything. I guess if Justin Bieber can sell records…

Breaking Dawn Part 1 DID open lower than New Moon so the studio was right. New Moon opened at $72.7 for the day and $142.8 for the weekend so I don't know where you are getting your facts from. The final HP movie was EPIC coming down to the BATTLE between good and evil. The end of Breaking Dawn is the lamest non-fight in book history. There is no way Breaking Dawn Part 2 is going to be the series' best for Box Office. Even major twihards are embarrassed by the last half of that book.

Wow. What an over reaction. Are you feeling threatened? If, so, that makes this diatribe even more laughable. It just a movie, one with a built in audience. There are a lot of films I truly dislike, but, the fact they have an audience and make money is hardly offensive. Grow up and Move on!

WITNESS AND FEAR THE POWER OF TEENAGE GIRLS!!! They travel in packs and have poisonous vicious tongues that will strip the flesh from bones and leave rotting corpses by the side of the road. On the flip side, they are also fanatically loyal to their idols, and it is impossible to become a SUPERSTAR without them. They will devote countless hours and years and any amount of money in supporting their idols. Although teen idols have a high rate of flash-in-the-pan burnout, sometimes the girls remain lifelong fans of an idol. When the males eventually come around and reevaluate their once hated idol, two massive forces collide, and a SUPERSTAR is born. First you win the girls, then you win the guys over with action/thriller/horror movies, then you are a Superstar. This is almost always the pattern for every male Superstar. But it all begins with that teenage girl fanatical fanbase. RPatz: future Oscar winner and king of Hollywood. Resign yourself to it now.

I actually liked it and I've seen the other three and wasn't a fan. So I'm glad Breaking Dawn did well and it's a movie for fans so screw your review or any critics review.

I took my two teenagers to the movie and they enjoyed it, however I didn't.
I love vampire movie, but not love stories and that is what this movie is. Kissing, kissing, and more kissing, yuk!!!!

A stunning total for a movie hated so much by nearly all the critics – I guess it shows how much influence they really have. Here is my favorite of the "bad" reviews – from a funny Finnish film critic –

It will be interesting to see how much it falls off next week. Not even horrible word of mouth could stop it.

Obviously , you none of you ever listenened to your parents teachings of if you don't have nothing nice to say "DON'T SAY IT AT ALL" you reluctant media jerks know nothing of romance or nothing about real love . this movie maybe a fantasy but stephanie meyers and all the people includeing one of the hottest casts EVER!!! WERE FULL OF PURE GENEIOUS WHEN THEY MADE THIS! you critics don't even know real geneious because your all just jealous of the fame because it was not your idea to work the fantasy angle dealing with women and such but obviously they only reason you write ignorant pieces of trash like this is because you obviously only critique movies that are great. BUT , then of corse their are sick psychotic writers and what not that come up with stupid titles not worth the paper they were written on or the film used to put sick disgusting movies like "the blair witch project , or IT " . Leave Harry Potter and THE TWILIGHT SAGA ALONE!!!! your critique of these two movies very unsatisfactory.

Yeah I lost a bet lets just say it was a horrible night. Kristen Stewart broken body, skinny legs she went through hell. It should be a horror film, the acting was scary, the dialogue, the writer Meyer, it was just horrible all around and the moms bringing their young daughters to see this? Sort out your priorities. Seriously this shit is suppose to be romantic? Doesnt wolf boy imprint whatever they hell that is anyways on a child? What is that f*uckery? He is a pedophile. Sicko!

People have such great taste don't they? I tried to watch the first film it wasn't horrible. New Moon bored me to tears, and didn't bother seeing the third, heard what happens in fourth one. Waste of time! What did you say? Oh he tears the baby from her stomach and her spine breaks well that sounds lovely. Oh and the guy who loves her and she almost goes off with imprints on her child? Well this is getting better. Edward is controlling oh wait everyone tells Bella what to do and she tried to commit suicide in New Moon. True love! Oh and vampires sparkle in the sunlight.Pass the barf bag please.
