The record breaking New Moon played to jammed packed theaters this past weekend and fans couldn't get enough of Edward (Robert Pattinson), Bella (Kristen Stewart), and Jacob(Taylor Lautner). The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) took home over $140M, making it the third biggest opening ever next to Spider-Man 3 (2007) with $151M and The Dark Knight (2008) with $158M. With the big movie weekend behind us, how long do you think it will take for New Moon to surpass this year's top grossing film? Do you think that New Moon has any shot of coming close to James Cameron's $600M Titanic (1997)?
Just on opening weekend alone, New Moon surpassed some of the most highly anticipated films of 2009 such as Angels & Demons (2009), Inglourious Basterds (2009), and District 9 (2009). Thanksgiving week is upon on which means turkey and stuffing, family and friends, and big numbers for movie theaters nationwide. Statistically, Thanksgiving is a big movie weekend so it will be interesting to see how well New Moon does during the long weekend break.
New Moon killed on opening weekend, but throughout the next couple of weeks, can it keep the same momentum going? If you have already seen it once, do you plan on seeing it again? Another question on everyone's mind, especially Summit's, is how long will it take The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) to surpass the top grossing films in 2009? Check out the list below and tell us how long you think to it will take for Robert Pattinson to take over Shia LaBeouf in Transformers (2007)?
