Two movies with actor Jackson Rathbone took the top slots in the July 4 marathon weekend at the North American box office, earning about $116 million in tandem over the Friday-to-Monday period and nearly $250 million since June 29\. Rathbone plays the decidedly supporting roles of Jasper Hale in _The Twilight Saga: Eclipse_ and Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe in _The Last Airbender_, so he probably wasn’t essential to the imposing numbers those two movies registered over the past few days. Still, it’s got to look great on the 25-year-old actor’s résumé. For non-Rathbonians, the stars of the two movies were the franchises: Stephenie Meyer’s four _Twilight_ novels and Nickelodeon’s animated series _Avatar: The Last Airbender_. Both films entered the marketplace with loads of hype and, for industry prognosticators, some aspects of suspense. Would _Airbender_ conquer its cataclysmic reviews and find its audience? And would the new _Twilight_ entry, ahem, eclipse the opening gross of its predecessor, _New Moon_? [(See portraits of the _Twilight_ stars.)](https://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1939314,00.html) _Twilight_ fans, vamps and lycanthrope lovers alike made gigantic hits of the first two films in the series, and sure enough, _Eclipse_ opened with a roar: June 30 was the biggest Wednesday in North American box office history, with $68.5 million, including a record-breaking $30 million from June 29’s midnight shows. Still, the Wednesday take was below the $72.7 million that _New Moon_ hauled in on the Friday before last Thanksgiving, which remains the all-time best for an opening day. The $68.5 million was about what _Eclipse_ earned over the next three days, suggesting that fans saw it early but not often. The film will likely take in about $175 million by the end of July 5, a bit less than the $178.9 million amassed by _New Moon_ in its first weekend. It’s also less than what _Spider-Man 2_ — the last blockbuster released on the Wednesday before a Sunday, July 4 — grossed in its first five days back in 2004\. So _Eclipse_ may not be a world beater, but it’s in excellent company. The film’s distributor, Summit, can take heart in other numbers. The most important one is $68 million, the relatively modest price tag on its budget. (_Spider-Man 2_ cost about three times as much.) _Eclipse_ also pulled in about $100 million abroad, and like the first two films in the series can be expected to earn more from foreign venues than those at home. For this threequel, 65% of the audience was female (as opposed to 80% for _New Moon_), and 45% were under 21 (as opposed to _New Moon_‘s 50%). And they are a rabid bunch. A blonde of our acquaintance, Carol Carey, who’s somewhat over 21, spent the weekend monitoring _Eclipse_‘s daily numbers as if they were the latest scores in a playoff game of her favorite sports franchise, the New York/Jersey Giants. Now that the holiday’s over, Carol will be seeing _Eclipse_ again, as will many other admirers of the acting styles of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Few critics admired M. Night Shyamalan’s work as adapter and director of _The Last Airbender_; Rotten Tomatoes compiled a pitiful 8% approval rating. And yet, as I and every other critic can tell you, we can’t make people stay away from the big movies we revile any more than we can get people to see the little movies we like. (Another trade secret: We don’t care if we’re “wrong” on a heavily advertised franchise movie.) _Airbender_‘s target audience was kids, mostly the boy fans of the TV show, and enough of them dragged their parents to theaters and made them pay the 3-D surcharge to give the film a decent launch. Whether it has the sturdy legs needed to warrant a sequel is anyone’s guess. “I took my son to see it this weekend,” one industry insider told me in an e-mail, “and I was so annoyed, I started posting tidbits on my FB page during the film.” Way to vent your rage, dear Insider — but you _did_ buy two tickets for the thing. [(See 10 Questions with M. Night Shyamalan.)](https://www.time.com/time/video/player/0,32068,106592716001%5F2001230,00.html) For the remaining kids and kids at heart, _The Karate Kid_ passed $150 million in its fourth week; and in its third, _Toy Story 3_ earned another $42.2 million from Friday to Monday, making it Pixar’s second biggest domestic hit, after 2003’s _Finding Nemo_. If July 5’s figures hold, _TS3_ will have reached the $300 million plateau in exactly as many days, 18, as _Shrek 2_ did six years ago — though with far fewer admissions because of inflation and the 3-D fee. Expect _TS3_ to pass _Nemo_ this month but end up short of the $441.2 million taken in by the all-time animation winner, _Shrek 2_. [(See the top 10 movies of 2009.)](https://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1945379%5F1943915,00.html) The holiday films had something for every demographic: young boys, teenage girls, ladies of a certain age and even rowdy males of the Adam Sandler persuasion. Sandler’s _Grown Ups_ cadged $19.1 million in its second week, and the Judd Apatow–produced _Get Him to the Greek_, starring Jonah Hill, held on well in its fifth. But it was _Cyrus_, in which Hill plays the willfully weird son of John C. Reilly’s new girlfriend, that was the surprise entry in the top 10\. The low-budget semi-comedy from mumblecore directors Jay and Mark Duplass expanded to 77 theaters and crept into 10th place with $1 million. That’s not a figure worthy of a Jackson Rathbone movie, but it’s a hopeful one for an indie film. As _Cyrus_ gets into more theaters, it may keep audiences chilled and amused for the rest of the summer.
