WITH three box office hits earning US$1.17 billion at the US box office over the past three years, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are Hollywood's highest-grossing romantic film couple.
The stars of the "Twilight" vampire films easily surpassed all other film twosomes in the Forbes list that looked at the top 10 grossing romantic films of the last three years.
"The movies are unconventional, and you have the added element the two people are a couple in real life," said Dorothy Pomerantz of Forbes.com.
Stewart and Pattinson's off-screen romance and breakup following Stewart's affair with Rupert Sanders, the married director of her film "Snow White and the Huntsman," fueled interest in the couple, who reportedly reunited ahead of the release of the final film in the popular "Twilight" series based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer.
Forbes compiled the list by looking at the top-grossing romantic films in the United States in the past three years as classified by Box Office Mojo. They added the totals for each couple's US box office.
The last three films in the "Twilight" series, "Eclipse," "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," were included in the box office calculations.
Channing Tatum, who was voted People magazine's sexiest man alive in 2012, and "The Vow" co-star Rachel McAdams were second, with the film earning US$125 million domestically, as well as US$71 million overseas.
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler captured the No. 3 spot with "Just Go With It," which earned US$103 million at the US box office and double that amount after international sales were included.
