Twilight’s New Moon Rakes In $140 Million Over The Weekend
Twilight: New Moon raked in $140 million over the weekend, the only other movies that had bigger opening weekends was The Dark Knight and Spiderman 3. What’s crazy is New Moon made $5 million more than The Dark Knight on it’s opening day, thankfully it’s ticket sales then slowed.
Other movies that were brave enough to open this weekend were The Blind Side which earned $34.5 million and Planet 51 which made $12.6 million. Looks like vampire mania swept through the US this weekend leaving other movies in the dust.
I for one am glad that New Moon’s opening weekend has finally come and is just about over, now we just have to get through at least two more movies then hopefully Twilight craziness will die down.
Here’s a look at estimated weekend ticket sales according to Box Office Mojo:
1. Twilight: New Moon: $140 million
2. The Blind Side: $34.5 million
3. 2012: $26.5 million
4. Planet 51: $12.6 million
5. A Christmas Carol: $12.2 million
6. Precious: $11 million
7. The Men Who Stare at Goats: $2.7 million
8. Couples Retreat: $1.9 million
9. The Fourth Kind: $1.7 million
10. Law Abiding Citizen: $1.6 million
