The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Twilight Saga: Eclipse has toppled Toy Story 3 from the top of the Australian box office to take the #1 spot.

With an impressive $12.9 million haul over the weekend the third movie in the Twilight franchise comfortably saw off the competition from the latest Pixar movie as Twilight fever once again sweeps the globe.

The movie has already taken $291 million worldwide, and it has only been in cinemas for a week

Toy Story dropped a single place from last week's number one to this week's two. Shrek Forever After and Grown Ups also both dropped a single place to finish the week at three and four.

A second new entry rounded off the top five in the form of The Karate Kid, a remake of the eighties classic, starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.

12-year-old Dre Parker could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China.

Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible.

Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease.

With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

And it was all move in the bottom half of the chart as Get Him To The Greek fell two places from four to six while Marmaduke moved up two places from nine to seven.

This week's biggest fallers were Sex and the City 2, The A-Team and Animal Kingdom as they all dropped three places to end the week at eight, nine and ten respectfully.
