Pattinson then continued to deliver box office results for four consecutive Twilight sequels from 2009 to 2012. The last two films, Breaking Dawn Part One (2011) and Breaking Dawn Part Two (2012), alone earned just north of $1.5 billion with a total budget of $246 million.
During his tenure as the youthful vampire for four years, he went on to act in other films like Little Ashes (2008), Remember Me (2010), Water for Elephants (2011), Bel Ami (2012) and Cosmopolis (2012).
These films were smaller productions that offered Pattinson a chance to flex his acting muscles and explore his limits. The success and money he had earned from Twilight gave him the freedom to pursue more offbeat, indie roles at the time.
Pattinson as Salvador Dali in Little Ashesh, 2008 (IMDb)
From amongst his indie film roles, the most notable one on his resume is Salvador Dali in Little Ashes.
Although the film was widely panned by audience and critics alike, Pattinson was commended for capturing the shyness and flamboyance of the Spanish surrealist artist, Salvador Dali.
