Millions at Stake for Everyone Involved

According to Forbes, the Twilight franchise has earned over $1 billion in domestic box office sales thus far, plus another $1.5 billion worldwide.

The roles of Bella and Edward in the Twilight Saga have proven to be highly lucrative for Kristen and Rob.

No doubt this holds true for Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, and other members of the Twilight cast as well.

Forbes reports that Kristen Stewart topped its list of highest paid actresses in Hollywood, with earnings of $34.5 million last year. With earnings of $26.6 million, Robert Pattinson was not far behind.

The backlash from the breakup of Kristen and Rob could have a disastrous effect on box office sales.

So it’s in everyone’s best interests for Rob and Kristen to reconcile, or at least give the outward appearance of being a couple again. See Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson Reconciliation Reports Being Re-examined

Since millions of dollars are involved, it’s financially worthwhile for Rob and Kristen to put their personal differences aside.
