‘New Moon’ rakes it in and breaks records

November 24, 2009 Posted by Lindsay in New Moon

New Moon made an absolute killing at the box office this weekend (I’m not surprised!), bringing in $142.8 million in the US.

ACTUALS ARE IN: The final domestic box office numbers for this past weekend show that The Twilight Saga: New Moon took in $142.8M. This is the official tally which, including the actual number for Sunday, has been revised upward by $2.1M from the previously announced $140.7M. This also results in an increase in the per theater average from $34,965 to $35,497.

More info here. Thanks Larry!

So New Moon broke the following records:

Midnight Box Office Totals
First Day Box Office Totals
#3 all time Opening Weekend
Biggest Non-Summer Opening Weekend
Biggest Opening for an Independent Film
Fastest to Reach $100 million
Highest Opening in “Vampire” Genre

Wahoo!! And I plan to see it at least two more times in the theater, so they’ll have another $25 of mine!

I'm agree with u, I'm a super fan, and I'm read all the books, but that end kills me....I never think that they change so many scenaries from the book and deleted so many scenes and so many important conversations from Edward and Bella, Charlie and Alice, etc. Of course, is my opinion, the movie was good but I think that Twilight was better. One of the things that saves this movie was Edward n his shirtless scene, the wolves and the acting 'cause was a 1000 times better.

I hope the Eclipse was 10000 times better!!!!! finger crossed
Don't hate me for this comment.....I love Twilight...it just that this movie frustrated me, especially the end.....TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
