The series finale The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 dominated the weekend box office as expected, but it couldn't eclipse New Moon as the series' biggest debut.

Breaking Dawn - Part 2 bowed with an estimated $141.3 million, while New Moon debuted with $142.8 million back in 2009. Breaking Dawn - Part 1 opened last fall with $138.1 million. Still, weep not for Edward and Bella's silver screen swan song as the movie is still a hit by any standard. Breaking Dawn - Part 2's worldwide cume currently stands at $340.9 million.

Last weekend's champ, Skyfall, fell to second place with $41.5 million; it is now the biggest James Bond film ever internationally with a current global tally of $669.2 million. Spielberg's acclaimed biopic Lincoln expanded into wide release this weekend, enjoying a leap into third place with a haul of $21 million.

Here are the weekend estimates via Rentrak:

1. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 $141.3 million
2. Skyfall $41.5 million
3. Lincoln $21 million
