Following in Harry Potter’s footsteps, the Twilight franchise launches the first of an extended two part conclusion this weekend with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1. While it remains to be seen if it will actually work as a standalone story, it probably doesn’t matter much as the hardcore fans have been camping out front of theatres all week. The other major release this weekend is the sequel to the Oscar-winning Happy Feet; the first film made almost $400 million worldwide, so Twilight could actually have some serious competition. In select theatres we also have Alexander Payne’s latest film, The Descendants starring George Clooney, along with Paddy Considine’s directorial debut Tyrannosaur and Joshua Leonard’s The Lie.
