'Twilight Saga: Eclipse' at No. 1 for holiday weekend

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" has risen to an $82.5 million haul during the long Fourth of July weekend and lifted its total to $175.3 million after just six days, The Associated Press reports.

The vampire romance from Summit Entertainment finished at No. 1 during the four-day weekend, despite a steep drop in its daily take after a $68.5 million start on Wednesday, the second biggest opening day ever.

Coming in second for the weekend, with $53.2 million from Friday to Monday, was Paramount's action fantasy "The Last Airbender," pushing its total to $70.5 million since opening Thursday. The movie did strong business despite terrible reviews.
