Even in relatively tough economic times it seems that people are still willing to shell out money to see big Hollywood blockbusters. This past weekend the box office records for both the Wednesday-Sunday and Friday-Sunday Thanksgiving periods were shattered. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 led the way raking in $43 million and Skyfall brought in an additional $36 million this weekend.
For the five day period $299 million was made at the box office, easily above the 2009 record of $259 million. The complete round-up of this past weekend's highest grossing films can be seen below. [Perez Hilton / Vulture]
