Not only did "Eclipse" have the largest domestic release ever when it opened in 4,408 theaters on June 30, but it's also banked more than $30 million at the box office between midnight and 3 a.m. alone. (Oh and by the way, if this movie somehow hasn't made it to a theater near you, 29 additional theaters will play the movie come Friday, according to EW.)
This makes "Eclipse" the new midnight opening record holder, knocking the film's predecessor, "New Moon," out of the top spot. The second installment in the series earned $26.3 million at midnight showings when it opened in November, 2009.
As Gossip Cop points out, "New Moon" went on to earn $72.7 million on its opening day, so we can only guess what the first day totals for "Eclipse" are going to look like.
Twihards, be honest - are some of you seeing this movie two or three times on the first day?
Nice Post
ReplyDeleteMr. Best, AWESOME Blog site. I really enjoyed reading about all the fabulous celebrities.
ReplyDeleteI will check out your blog tomorrow after I pop some popcorn. Your blog site is better than going to the movies.
Thank you. I now have my social life back and you have made it exciting and me more interesting.
