Rob And Kristen Tweet Their Thanks

While fans of "New Moon" are howling over the success of the franchise's latest installment, the two big stars of "The Twilight Saga" just started Tweeting.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart took to Summit's new "Twilight Saga" Twitter account on Monday to show their appreciation for fans after the film placed third in all-time opening weekends, earning $140.7 million. It was the first non-summer film to have reached such high numbers.
