According to Forbes, that influence may be a little mightier than we previously suspected.
Along with the cast of Harry Potter, Twilight's group made one of the biggest showings on the list of 'Top Box-Office Teens', with Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner all ranking highly upon it.
About Dakota Fanning, Forbes says that her "films have earned a whopping $2 billion at the box office."
At number four on the list is Fanning's The Runaways and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse co-star Kristen Stewart, whose films, Forbes estimates, have brought in "a total $1.5 billion at the box office." "Although Stewart, 19, is now best known for the role of Bella in Twilight, she's actually been acting since 2002 when she co-starred with Jodie Foster in the thriller Panic Room. The film earned $200 million at the box office."
Taylor Lautner made the list as well. "The 18-year-old ranks fourth with $900 million in box-office earnings. Much of that comes from New Moon, but Lautner also co-starred in the recent romantic hit Valentine's Day, which has earned $125 million at the box office so far. Lautner is now the hottest thing in Hollywood."
