Freight Train to Success

Pattinson plays a sensitive veterinarian who falls for a married circus performer (played by Reese Witherspoon) in the film adaptation of Sara Gruen's best-selling novel Water for Elephants. The film, which debuts at No. 3 and pulls in $17.5 million, reunites the actor with his Vanity Fair costar. "There's something about her," he gushes to EW about Witherspoon. "All the kids and the animals were just drawn to her."

'Breaking' the Bank

Breaking Dawn – Part 1 rakes in more than $139 million during its first week at the box office before going on to best the competition in its second week. "I kind of worked out to bulk up a little for those scenes with my shirt off," Pattinson says of shooting the racy post-wedding sex scene. "I stopped literally the day afterwards. I find it very boring to work out."
