'New Moon' Scores Big In Opening Weekend

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:33:03 +0000

The Twilight Saga: New Moon had a really big opening weekend , earning an estimated total of $140.7 million in its first three days in theaters. It was more than twice as much as the grosses of the first film in the Twilight series, which earned $69.6 million when it opened this time last year. However, New Moon failed to break the record for the most earnings a film took in opening weekend. That record still goes to The Dark Knight , which earned $158.4 million on its opening weekend. New Moon comes in third place of the top 10 best openings of all time, though, and to boot, it's the only non-summer film to take the honor.

Twihards Steer New Moon to New Records

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:43:35 +0000

There was little question last week that the second chapter of Stephenie Meyers' supernatural romance drama The Twilight Saga: New Moon with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson would open big, but after setting a new midnight record on Thursday and a new single day record on Friday with $72.7 million, it has left even the most jaded critic of the franchise flabbergasted at how well the movie performed. In its first three days, New Moon grossed an estimated $140.7 million, the third biggest opening weekend domestically of all time with a per-site average of just under $35,000 per venue, the fourth largest per-theater average for a wide release.An even bigger surprise this weekend may have been the success of Sandra Bullock's football drama The Blind Side (Warner Bros.), which has grossed an estimated $34.5 million in three days.

'New Moon' Breaks Midnight Screening Records

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:27:18 +0000

This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been keeping up with the presage numbers. New Moon is rocketing through box offices and now has the largest opening night ever. Midnight screenings across the nation were packed with giddy fangirls and fanboys alike. Summit estimates that it earned $26.3 million dollars after early morning calculations. The previous record was held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , set this last summer at $22.2 million dollars for its midnight openings. This only helps to fuel the Harry Potter vs Twilight rivalry that has been raging for years. Potter fans have been out numbered by New Moon fans this time and each series only has two more movies in the franchise.

B.O. Preview: Can Summit Shoot an $100M 'Moon'?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:22:27 +0000

By Daniel Frankel In terms of pre-release box-office expectations, they don’t come any loftier than those of Summit Entertainment’s “Twilight” sequel. Opening at midnight in 3,514 theaters across North America, the highly anticipated “Twilight Saga: New Moon” is projected by studio officials to take in between $80 million-$85 million over its first three days. And that estimate may be conservative. Some rival-studio distribution officials tell TheWrap that “New Moon” -- which has received a bombardment of press coverage in the run-up to its premie...

Why 'New Moon' Could Be Better Than We Imagined

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:30:00 +0000

I'm guessing you're reading this right now getting really excited for New Moon to show. Maybe you're lucky enough to have tickets to the midnight screenings. Maybe you've already seen the film. Me, I'm still looking for someone to watch it with, but yes, I am going to watch New Moon , never mind that I'm not really a fan. I feel that this will be a much better movie than Twilight (maybe it's because I now understand what the hype is all about) and many others have confirmed that feeling. Here's why:

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Starring: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner Review: Swooning tweens of all ages and sexes will work themselves into a lather deciding whether to join Team Edward (that's sometimes-shirtless vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson) or Team Jacob (that's perpetually shirtless werewolf Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner). Sign me up for Team Confused, since this is now the second film in Stephenie Meyer's four-book Twilight saga that fails to ignite the flame of Meyer's overheated prose. Director Chris Weitz shares the secrets of New Moon Catherine Hardwicke, who directed the first film, better caught the virginal yearning in Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), the high school girl torn between both monsters.

'New Moon' Review: Wildly Entertaining and Heartfelt

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:10:47 +0000

Unlike most Twilight fans, I went to the theatre yesterday to get a sneak peek of New Moon with really low expectations . I didn't like the trailers, I was skeptical about the adaptation and I really didn't want to be disappointed in my beloved series. In my mind, the story of New Moon is just too depressing and emotionally complex for movie form. I put so much emphasis on the emotions surrounding Bella's plight that I forgot how enthralled I was when I read it. And luckily, New Moon the movie does the exact same thing. I was enraptured from beginning to end. This should come as good news to any Twilight fan: above all else, New Moon is wildly entertaining. The story, which follows Bella (Kristen Stewart) as she navigates life without Edward, remains true to the book for all intents and purposes. The changes are a welcome addition. Melissa Rosenberg and Chris Weitz were careful to put in elements of humor to keep the feeling light. The comedic elements mostly come from Bella's ...
