The Blind Side has become a family favorite this season—but the inspirational movie raked in $20.4 million this weekend weekend and declared a box-office victory over The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Great word-of-mouth from fans has driven people to see The Blind Side, which stars Sandra Bullock as a woman whose family adopts homeless teen Michael Oher, now a rookie tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon is still a mega-hit with $255.6 million domestically, compared to $129.3 million for The Blind Side.
