    Twilight fever breaks: is Robert Pattinson's new film a dud?


    Are Twilight's legions of fans finally over their crush on leading man Robert Pattinson?

    His new romantic weepie Remember Me landed in eighth place on its first weekend in the Australian box office, earning a little over $500,000. By comparison, the first-place getter Alice in Wonderland earned more than $6 million.

    In the US the film was the fourth most popular film on its opening weekend, making a relatively teensy US$8.3 million.

    Critics aren't big fans of Remember Me either. The film ranked up a 28 percent "rotten" rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

    In the flick Pattinson plays Tyler, a young man at odds with his father (Pierce Brosnan) until he meets and falls in love with Ally (Australian actress Emilie de Ravin).
