Don’t cry sparkly vampire, you broke the opening day record
Opening weekend for The Twilight Saga: New Moon set a couple of world records. First it took best opening midnight record then it took best single day opening box office.
And there for a while, it looked like it would take the weekend as well. But Batman: Dark Knight still holds the weekend record with Spider-man 3 coming in second.
None the less, I know Hollywood is licking its lips at the thought of how well its glittery vampire franchise is doing. And how it can come up with more project like it in the upcoming year.
New Moon: Opening night (midnight showing) $26+ million
New Moon: Opening day (Friday) $72+ million
New Moon: Opening weekend $140+ million domestic
New Moon: Opening weekend $118+ million international
That will buy a lot of body glitter!
