Directed by David Slade, and starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse earned an estimated $33.4m (a solid $7,475 per theater) at the US/Canada box office this weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.
Following a perfectly acceptable 48.5% drop-off rate on its second weekend out, Eclipse was only behind Universal’s Despicable Me, which took in $60.1m on its debut weekend.
Eclipse‘s domestic twelve-day total currently stands at $237m, the fourth highest among 2010′s domestic releases, having just passed both How to Train Your Dragon and Shrek Forever After. Still ahead of Eclipse — all with more than $300m — are Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, and Iron Man 2.
If weekend studio estimates are accurate, the Stewart-Pattinson-Lautner love triangle should cross the $250m mark either next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Worldwide, Eclipse has taken in $456m. It’ll surely cross the $500m mark next weekend.
