Breaking Dawn breaks records on opening weekend

The fourth and second to last film in The Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Part 1 broke records this weekend as it recorded the biggest all time opening for an American film in the UK grossing £13.9 million.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 has set the record with £6.35 million as the biggest non-3D opening Friday figure of all time, eclipsing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, which grossed £5.9 million. Including 3D films, this Friday figure has charted as the 2nd highest ever.

The film has become the biggest 2D opening of 2011 and has scored the biggest Twilight opening so far and the fifth biggest three day figure ever.
