The fifth and final instalment in the Twilight movie franchise has gone straight to the top of the US box office charts, taking $141.3m on its opening weekend.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, enjoyed the eighth-biggest opening weekend of all time.

The movie earned more than the first Twilight film, which took $138.1m, but less than New Moon, which made $142.8m in its opening weekend back in 2009.

The new James Bond movie, Skyfall, which took an impressive £55m in ticket sales in its opening weekend, has now been knocked into second place.

In third place is Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, which climbed 12 places this week, with $21m in tickets sold.

At No 4 is the animated movie Wreck-It-Ralph ($18.3m) with Denzel Washington's film Flight ($8.6m) rounding out the top five.

Making up the rest of the top 10 are: Argo, Taken 2, Pitch Perfect, Here Comes the Boom and Cloud Atlas.

The top 10 in full (studio estimates):

1. (-) Breaking Dawn - Part 2 - $141.3 million
2. (1) Skyfall - $41.5 million
3. (15) Lincoln - $15.1 million
