'Twilight' Director Says Studio Gave Her a Cupcake After Film's Success

Twilighttook a huge bite out of the box office when it was released in 2008, pulling in a bloodsucking $70.6 million opening haul in the United States and Canada, while also setting a new record at the time for the biggest opening weekend for a female-directed film. Catherine Hardwicke helmed the vampire romance, based on the 2005 novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer, and its commercial success paved the way for the saga to become a multi-billion-dollar juggernaut — but the studio didn't part with too much money for her gift.
