2012 Box Office: Blockbusters, Bombs and Best of the Rest

With history's best opening ever — and the worst — 2012 was a roller-coaster year at the box office … at least it was never dull

“Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” brought down the curtain on the franchise that made girl power a box office phenomenon. It opened to $141 million in November and has taken in $780 million globally. Summit Entertainment’s tale of vampire love helped Lionsgate, which purchased Summit earlier this year, become the first independent studio to hit $1 billion in domestic box office.
