New Moon Shatters Box Office Records
Posted on 20. Nov, 2009 by AmyO in News
The numbers are in for the midnight shows of The Twilight Saga: New Moon-
Summit has announced that The Twilight Saga: New Moon has officially set a new all-time midnight box office record, taking in $26.27M from 3514 theaters.
This shatters The Dark Knight’s $18.4M midnight debut for a 3-day weekend. It also easily surpasses the all-time record for midnight showings which was held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which took in $22.2M on a Tuesday night on its way to a 5-day weekend total of $158M. The Dark Knight went on to take in $67.17M that opening day, dropped 29.1% from Friday to Saturday to bring in another $47.65M, and ended with $43.6M on Sunday for an opening weekend total of $158.4M.

Yeah baby! I was kind of wondering because the (huge) theater I saw it at was not sold out last night, which shocked me. But I am gleeful that they did that well. I just got back from seeing it for the second time, so I’m helping!
Question: How much did Twilight take in last night?

Awesome! I saw it at midnight, then again Friday night. I’m getting ready to see it again today with some other TM’s, and then hubby and I are seeing it tomorrow afternoon. NM is fantastic.
