The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 managed to hold off all new releases during the Thanksgiving holiday and has earned a total of $222 million since opening last weekend. The Muppets took second place and earned a respectable $42 million over the 5-day holiday. New release Arthur Christmas and Happy Feet Two in its second week didn't fare as well and are performing lower than expected.
