The latest Twilight vampire film held top spot at the North American box office over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Breaking Dawn – Part 1 reigned for a second consecutive week with $42 million in ticket sales and $62 million over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday. That was enough to keep ahead of The Muppets, the new film based on the Jim Henson puppet characters, which grossed $29.5 million over the weekend.

Another family movie, Happy Feet Two, was third with a weekend take of $13.4 million, followed by Arthur Christmas ($12.7 million) and Martin Scorsese’s Hugo ($11.3 million).
