Better late than never – here are today’s odds and ends:

Elf Yourself

I found these elf-yourself for Twilight at this other Twilight site. You guys should check it out and put it on for a good laugh. I started laughing like an idiot, it doesn’t take much to amuse me. Anyways, enjoy! Click here (thanks ana)

Rob made Forbes list

Once little known for his supporting role as Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter series, Pattinson is now drawing big crowds–and drooling ladies–of his own. In recent weeks, he’s graced a slew of magazine covers and scored dozens of interviews for his starring role as Edward Cullen, the vampire in the silver screen’s heavily hyped Twilight adaptation. Still more proof of his fan interest: The flick’s opening weekend delivered a jaw-dropping $70 million at the U.S. box office. Source (thanks nicgurl990 & hugz)

Weekend Wrap-Up – Weekend Box Office Is Punished

Second this weekend is surprisingly not Bolt. Instead, it’s Twilight, as the teen girl repeat viewers may be finally coming out of the woodwork. Twilight earned $13.2 million, and its weekend drop completely threw off the trend. In Twilight’s sophomore frame last weekend, the teen-vamp flick got crushed, losing 62% of its opening weekend sales, despite being in the padded Thanksgiving frame, where drops should be slim. This weekend, Twilight actually improves on last weekend’s drop with a plunge of 50%, something we just don’t see unless a film is expanding. Summit did add 195 venues this weekend, but it shouldn’t have been enough to break the trend. That means Twilight has now earned $138.6 million, and while I don’t think it will reach $200 million, it is still going to be a very healthy finish for Summit Entertainment, and the birth of a what could be a very strong franchise.
