New Moon Stakes The Box Office

New Moon Stakes The Box Office

Kristen Stewart is making box office history!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon pulled in a massive $26.3 million at North American box offices in midnight showings on Thursday (November 19). WOW!

The previous record was set by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which claimed $22.2 million in midnight screenings when it was released this past July.

The vampire romance movie is projected to take in a total of around $100 million in its opening weekend.

Check out Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and the rest of the cast at the NYC screening!

Wow. 100 million. That’s the money it could’ve gone to feed America’s hungry children. Such a shame.

Finally someone recognized Kristen Stewart as the main actor of the Saga. Yes, she’s making history!

@nikki: @redspider: Thank goodness some people agree with me. What the heck is so special about Twilight!? Someone tell me. The author of Twilight made Vampires look very weak. Vampires do not freaking sparkle when they step out into daylight. They die.

Thank You, and yes I am glad Kristen is finally getting some recognition after all this are her movies and the books are her story (bella’s).
I hope she got a nice paycheck out of this and they sent her on a long vacation, australia perhaps?

It’s because of twilight that make other movies lose their chances of success. Just saying,but I can’t wait to see New moon. It’s not out in my country yet.

Come on seriously..There are other movies out that are probably way better than this movie.
and whats the big deal about this movie or book anyway?
You do know that books came out like a few years ago and ppl just started reading them last year bc of this..
seriously ppl..

this is all my opinion, but I’m just saying there are other movies out there that actually are important..

seriously people i do love twilight but the truth is it is WAY overrated. the books are amazing but the movies eeh? i mean i am so sick of how new moon is beating out harry potter. the harry pottercast deserve way more recognization (exept rupert,emma and danielle) im talkin bout tom felton, evanna lynch, matthew lewis. The movies and plot lines are much more interestu=ing than this piece of ****! (not talkin bout the books, i love stephenie meyer) i really was lokking forward to watching twilight but it dissapointed me ALOT! hopefully new moon will be better (tho i doubt it) BTW I KNO I’M GONNA GET A TON OF HATE FOR THIS! BUT HEY EVERY HAS THEIR OWN OPINION

TOO BAD THE MOVIE SUCKED. :)
Box office doesn’t mean anything when your movie gets a 29 out of 100 percent of one of the most popular reviewing site on the internet.

Seriously, this is Twilight:

Edward can’t read Bella’s mind.
They fall in love after like a week.
She wants to be a vampire.
They have a baby.
Jacob “imprints” on her.
They get married.

This book is s stupid it hurts, not to mention the lack of decent vocabulary. Oh, and the fact that just because the book is said to be amazing, AUTOMATICALLY so’s the movie which is dumb because the actors, besides Ashley and Kellan, suck…

Kristen Stewart smokes pot/weed- just saying.

@Overated.: *hugs you* True. Oh, and… Team Harry Potter. Don’t matter who sells more. HP is written better.

To all you haters above, i love the Twilight Saga but didn’t expect much from the movie because the previous one wasn’t so great. But as a matter of fact, I was pleasantly surprised at New Moon, it was absolutely amazing when I saw it, besides one part that was utterly obsurd. I loved the movie, so how about you actually go and see it before you start bashing it!! You are all pathetic!!

katie @ 4:00 am on 11/21/2009

I hated Twilight, but New Moon was amazing, period. And @lmao, you saying you don’t go and see movies at the cinema? That’s money that could be used to feed hungry children. Unless you don’t EVER go to the cinema, that’s very hypocritical.

#21
me @ 4:00 am on 11/21/2009

it’s not because they make history at the box office that mean it’s the best movie all the time! the critic sucks! lot of people who see the movie are very disappointed except the girls who scream when they see taylor lautner shirtless!

It really goes to show just how childish twihards can be when it comes to hearing negative comments about New Moon, just because many out there don’t like the books or the movies, with justifiable reasoning, you can’t go around calling them ‘haters’, it’s immature and goes to show exactly how old the fans of this movie really are. This movie will most likely make more than a $100 in the box office, however, the critics and a lot of the public have spoken, and the truth is that the movie sucked hardcore, not surprisingly, and quite honestly, they could break the box office this weekend, but in terms of worldwide collections overall throughout the next few weeks, fans of the movie shouldn’t expect any phenomenon as it’s not gonna surpass HP or even Transformers, if it does, well, let’s just hope that the hype dies out soon, it’s just annoying beyond comprehension.
