Stub reviews: Top 5 Thanksgiving weekend movies

Over Thanksgiving weekend, theaters sold an estimated $295 million worth of tickets, breaking the record of $273 million set in 2009. We asked readers to tag their Instagram photos of ticket stubs #stubreview and share a brief review. The posts matched up with box office numbers. Here's our five.

  1. 1. 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' 

  2. "Breaking Dawn 2" was tops again at the box office, and we got several tagged posts about it. The following image incorporated a pair of felines with a pair of stubs.
  3. The series can be polarizing, as we saw from social media responses when the film came out.
  4. Still, there was lots of palpable interest from our Instagrammers. We got so many tags from "Breaking Dawn" that we can't show them all.
  5. Some of the readers claimed that they were dragged to see the film by significant others and/or friends.
  6. Some of our "Breaking Dawn" fans came from outside the United States. This reader saw it in the Philippines.
  7. And this person is from Jakarta, Indonesia.
  8. #stubreview #cnnireport @cnnireport "I HAVE TO COMPETE WITH SCHOOL KIDS AND OTHER WORKING PEOPLE WHO MIGHT ALSO SKIP WORK FROM NOON JUST TO BUY THIS MOVIE TICKET
  9. 2. 'Skyfall'

  10. Still in the theaters, this movie did well in box offices, too.
  11. This reader called it the best "James Bond" film yet.
  12. This reader shared their pictures of "Skyfall" stubs, and said they also saw "Breaking Dawn."
  13. 3. 'Lincoln'

  14. The film about the former president continued to garner a huge following.
