Apparently everyone wants to see Bella and Edward tie the knot (and subsequently release years of pent-up sexual tension): 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1' topped the Black Friday box office with $16.9 million, putting the third installment of the vampire series on track to finish the weekend at $40 million. Disney's 'The Muppets' came in close second on Friday with a successful $12.3 million, while other kid-friendly films took the remaining spots, including 'Happy Feet Two' in third place with $5.1 million. Playing in limited release at only 390 locations, 'The Descendents' earned a whopping $2.7 million on Friday and is estimated to finish the weekend at $6.5 million.
