July 2-4, 2010: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse vs. The Last Airbender
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opened on a Wednesday, and by the weekend had already burned off a lot of demand; still, it managed to earn $64.8 million for a five-day total of $157.6 million. In second place was The Last Airbender, which opened to $40.3 million despite receiving the worst reviews in M. Night Shyamalan's career (yes, even worse than The Happening).
