Just a few days ago, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were announced as two of Vanity Fair's "Top Moneymakers," and, today, Forbes included the two in their list of "Hollywood's Top-Earning On-Screen Couples."
Of course, these figures are based upon the successes of the films in which the two appear as a couple (as opposed to Vanity Fair's consideration of their personal salaries), but here's what Forbes had to say about the matter.
[T]he multi-movie onslaught of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may prove the most powerful and profitable of all. With just two of the four expected Twilight films under their belts, their pairing raked in $1.1 billion at the box office. The third installment, Eclipse, hits theaters at the end of June.
Some speculate that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will pull in more revenue than did The Twilight Saga: New Moon or Twilight, but others suspect - upon, arguably, skewed grounds - that the film will not fare as well as New Moon.
In either case, this year's intake is certain to keep Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart right there up on this list for next year.
