‘Eclipse’ Lights Up July 4th Weekend Box Office

‘Twilight’ threequel beats out ‘The Last Airbender’ but doesn’t surpass opening numbers of its predecessor ‘New Moon.’ By Josh Wigler Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in “Eclipse” Photo: Summit The Box-Office Top Five #1 “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” ($82.5 million) #2 “The Last Airbender” ($53.3 million) #3 “Toy Story 3” ($42.2 million) #4 “Grown Ups” ($25.9 million) #5 “Knight and Day” ($13.8 million) Whether you’re on Team Edward or Team Jacob, “Twilight” fans of all shapes, sizes and loyalties flocked to theaters this weekend to award the supernatural franchise’s latest installment, “Eclipse,” with the first-place prize at the Fourth of July holiday weekend box office. “Eclipse” took an estimated $82.5 million from Friday through Sunday, resulting in a $175.3 million cumulative total since opening on Wednesday (June 30). Having established new Hollywood records for widest-ever opening release, best midnight debut and single greatest Wednesday premiere, “Eclipse” was unable to eclipse its own predecessor’s success — “New Moon” remains the “Twilight” franchise’s champion with an opening weekend total of $178 million. Despite this, there’s no denying that “Eclipse” is already a huge hit, having surpassed its own production budget by more than $200 million thanks to the $100.2 million earned from foreign locations. Even as “Eclipse” easily took first place, director M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Last Airbender” managed a solid second-place finish worth $53.3 million, resulting in a cumulative total of $70.5 million since opening on Thursday. Those opening numbers aren’t as impressive when measured against the film’s reported $150 million production budget, but given the massive amount of critical backlash levied at “The Last Airbender,” the movie actually performed rather well under the circumstances. “Toy Story 3” landed in third place with $42.2 million, bringing Pixar’s latest to a massive $451.9 million worldwide total after only three weeks in theaters. Fourth and fifth place went to last weekend’s newcomers “Grown Ups” and “Knight and Day” with $25.9 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Upcoming Releases Adrien Brody tries his hand as an action hero this coming weekend in producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimrod Antal’s “Predators,” while Steve Carell and Jason Segel battle it out in superhero comedy “Despicable Me.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” “The Last Airbender” and “Toy Story 3.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Eclipse Premiere Face-Off: Robert Pattinson vs. Taylor Lautner

Eclipse will be a box office smash. We all know that. But what about the fashion choices of the movie’s main cast members stars? Will they be as popular? That was the main topic of conversation at the film’s Hollywood premiere last night. Because their characters square off against each other so often, it’s only appropriate for us to pit Robert Pattinson (donning a maroon Gucci suit) against Taylor Lautner below? Are you on Team Edward or Team Jacob in this case? Sorry, but Team They Are Both So Frickin Hot and I’d Give Anything for Five Minutes Alone with Either One isn’t an option… [Photos: Splash News] Who looked hotter on the red carpet?

‘Jersey Shore’ Star The Situation Vs. Taylor Lautner: Who Has Better Abs?

‘There can only be one Situation,’ the Situation himself says of the showdown. By Josh Wigler Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino and Josh Horowitz on the 2010 Movie Awards red carpet Photo: MTV News Fans of the “Twilight” franchise must pick a side: either Team Edward or Team Jacob. But the hunky werewolf’s loyalists might want to make room on their plate for a completely different rivalry: Team Jacob vs. Team Situation? While walking the red carpet at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , “Jersey Shore” castmates Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino were asked to weigh in on which star had the better “situation” going on: the “Jersey Shore” star or Taylor Lautner. For Ronnie, it’s not even a question who has the better shirtless situation: “You’ve got to go with the Situation, the original.” But the Situation himself seemed to be looking for a humble and amicable resolution. Instead, he offered: “You know what? The Situation is called the Situation for a reason. There can only be one Situation.” It’s hard to say whether Ronnie and the Situation’s opinions reflect those of the rest of the “Jersey Shore” cast, as Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino told MTV News earlier in the night that they’re fans of the “Twilight” actors. “I’m a fan of them,” Pauly D revealed, with Vinny adding: “I wish everybody success. We’re both doing our thing right now, and we’re both guests at the MTV Movie Awards. Can’t ask for anything more than that, you know?” They might feel that way now, but what if they were asked who had the better hair between Pauly and RPattz? That would be a whole different “situation” altogether.
