The Twilight Saga was one of the biggest box office hits in cinema history. The film franchise was entirely based on the works written by Stephenie Meyerin addition to being responsible for revealing some of the current great Hollywood artists, such as Robert Pattison It is Kirsten Stewartwho lived the protagonists of the plot.
The five films in the saga are considered to this day as the plot with vampires with the best performance in theaters. Adding the box office of all the features, the franchise grossed US$ 3.3 billion at the box office. But do you know which title managed to perform the best?
Most profitable movie
With $800 million at the box office, “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” is the highest-grossing film in the franchise. The final episode of Edward and Bella’s story became attractive to the public mainly because of the false ending, which caused a stir in those who watched the production.
However, there is a curious factor in the box office of the saga Twilight. Instead of following the conventional cinema, where with each volume of a franchise, the profit tends to decrease, the history of the vampires of Forks did the opposite: with each new film, the box office increased. This was a rare occurrence, since in theaters sequels generally don’t do as well as the original films.
And there is one more factor that makes the performance of “Breaking Dawn — Part 2” even more unusual: the target audience of the film, which were fans of the books and those who had been following it since the first release, was getting older, that is, it would be difficult to get the attention of new viewers. But Twilight was against all these “normalities”, not to mention that, among the critics, the productions were not successful at all, which shows that the public was totally against the specialized critics.
