'Breaking Dawn, Part 2' Trailer Breaks Yahoo! Movies Record

Twilight fandom helping the latest (and final) movie's trailer to raise the viewing bar is no surprise, but will it translate to success? The frenzy surrounding the original Breaking Dawn -- Part 1 trailer took that movie to a domestic total of $281.3 million. A hefty sum, but a solid $20 million under the top grossing series entry, a slot owned by Twilight:  Eclipse and its grand total of $300.5 million. Trailer numbers aren't a clear indication of box office success, but Breaking Dawn — Part 2 shouldn't have an issue making gobs of money when it hits theaters in November. After all, it's the final chapter in the Twilight saga. The same scenario helped Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 earn that franchise's highest gross, a whopping $381 million.

7 million is a sizable drawl for a single video, considering Twilight is one of the most divisive pop culture products in recent memory, but for those Batman fanboys looking for their faith to be restored in humanity (get off your high-horses!), there's solace to be found: The Dark Knight Rises broke iTunes trailer records back in December with 12.5 million views, a new high broken again in March, when the full-length spot for The Avengers was downloaded 13.7 million times in its first 24 hours.
