Despite the fact that it's downright terrible and may also cause you to have a seizure, the latest Twilight movie apparently isn't going anywhere. Breaking Dawn grabbed the No. 1 box office spot for the third straight weekend, the LA Times reports, pulling in another $16.9 million. In the 17 days it's been out, the movie has grossed $247.3 million in North America; the third Twilight installment made slightly more during the same period in 2009. (More Twilight stories.)
