Twilight
Hello, it's Twilight — of course it earned big bucks. After the Twilight saga books hit shelves in 2005 (written by a woman, Stephenie Meyer, we might add) and sold more than 100 million copies, hopes were high for a big payout when the stories made it to the big screen. Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, ended up bringing in $192.7 million domestically and $200.8 million in the foreign market for a grand total of $393.6 million. Plus, it was the No. 1 movie the weekend it opened in more than 3,000 theaters!
