LOS ANGELES — Audiences found the vampire romance "Twilight" infectious in its opening weekend, pushing the movie to a take of $70.6 million.

Drawing from its huge fan base of teenage girls, who fell for Stephenie Meyer's novel of forbidden love between brooding vampire Edward Cullen and bookish high schooler Bella Swan, "Twilight" made a whopping $20,636 per theater.

The other major debut of the weekend, Walt Disney's 3-D animated "Bolt," made $27 million to take third place.

Last weekend's No. 1 movie, "Quantum of Solace," came in second with $27.4 million.

"Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa" and "Role Models" rounded out the top five weekend films.
