Claiming the record for the biggest one-day gross, The Twilight Saga: New Moon raked in an estimated $72.7 million on approximately 8,500 screens at 4,024 sites. The Dark Knight was the previous title holder with $67.2 million on around 9,300 screens at 4,366 sites.
New Moon's first day more than doubled that of its predecessor Twilight, which debuted to $36 million on around 6,000 screens at 3,419 sites. Twilight's first weekend wound up at $69.6 million, which was also less than New Moon's first day. Due to fans storming theaters on its opening day, Twilight's first weekend was heavily Friday-loaded, leading to much lower grosses for Saturday ($21.3 million) and Sunday ($12.4 million). The fan fervor was even more intense for New Moon, so the picture will not maintain Friday's pace throughout the weekend.
New Moon's $72.7 million first day included an estimated $26.3 million from its midnight opening, which was also a record. The Dark Knight made $18.5 million on its midnight opening, which means it generated more business after its midnight showings ($48.7 million) than New Moon did ($46.4 million). The Dark Knight still holds the record for biggest weekend (Friday-Saturday-Sunday) ever: $158.4 million.
Bodes well for Avatar.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead.
This is the first time where I've felt so disconnected from an "event film".
Women are fucking ridiculous. I had no idea that this Twilight shit was that popular.

The other-gender parallel to Modern Warfare 2, which I believe now holds the analogous record for video game, is shockingly appropriate. People sure love stuff that's dumb these days.

TDK was shit.
Now tell me why amazing movies like District 9 earned less than shitty Batman movie or Titanic: Vampires & Werewolves edition?
How long how long until Kristen Stewart nudes?
Synthesizer Patel says go see Fantastic Mr. Fox instead, which he claimed is not only the greatest stop-motion film of all-time, but one of the greatest films of all-time.Yeah. I've heard great things. I'm surprised at the reception of this movie as Wes Anderson's output over the years has been getting worse and worse.
Im basing this on COD2,4 and 5. Havent played SP 6 because Im burned out on this kind of SP experience. So maybe it has changed, your giving me reason to try it out now.

... but Twilight didn't beat out The Dark Knight for the weekend record, am nintenho.Maybe it won't beat it for the weekend record but it still bends over and humbles Bale/Nolan fanboys. Think about it, TDK was the most successful sequel in what is today the most popular comic book franchise. It also had 4 times the budget and a dead gay cowboy so that should have gotten it at least another 50% at the box office (AT LEAST!). And it got fucking beaten by a movie about emo-vampires taking their shirts off.

Winnie the Pooh and Looney Toons have been around for ages. So have tons of more recent movies with talking and/or anthropomorphic animals. It's funny that people somehow think this is any different. :lol
my rule of thumb is that if you can deliver the same narrative, themes, and messages WITHOUT anthropomorphic animals, then it is straight-up furfaggotry. starfox, for example, would have been functionally identical with human characters, and the same for the fantastic mr fox. winnie-the-pooh and tom and jerry? not so much. fox's visuals are there for the arthaus yiffpile set.

Only movie I want to see is Precious. My mom saw it and said lots of kids were in the audience lol, and the movie is pretty graphic to say the least. smh
I guess parents saw "Tyler Perry+Oprah" and thought it was family friendly. whoops
Dahl :bow
I remember seeing that in the theater, I'm guessing it was late in the film's run because only a handful of people were there. Great movie; haven't seen it in ages though so dunno how I'll like it as a grown up
I guess parents saw "Tyler Perry+Oprah" and thought it was family friendly. whoops
That's what I was figuring. The theater we saw it at in Seattle is one of my absolute favorites. It's a beautifully restored mid-century two-screen art house theater. There was this one little kid who ran into me going into the theater commenting "Man, this theater is totally ghetto."
smh
I saw James and the Giant Peach only once: in theaters. Haven't seen it since, but I remember enjoying it. Matilda owned.I guess parents saw "Tyler Perry+Oprah" and thought it was family friendly. whoops

'I want to bite you, Heffa. I want to bite you very hard. I'll be gentle, I promise. If you really loved me, you'd let me.' Heffa Lump is just a typical, pale and interesting seventeen-year-old, who doubts that anyone will ever see her true beauty. But then she moves to Spatula and meets Teddy Kelledy, an impossibly gorgeous boy who eats rare meat, is super-strong and never goes out in sunlight. Could he, just maybe - be a vampire? (Hint: totally.) A tale of first love, painful longing and even more painful pointy teeth, "New Moan" is a hilarious parody of the phenomenon that is Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga.

With New Moon likely to make yet another metric fuckload of money this weekend we need to find the bright side to the entire Twilight mania. There must be something good that comes from this awful Mormon fantasy that seems to have invaded our culture on every front. That something is the eventual movie version of Breaking Dawn.
Even though New Moon has made a bazillion dollars and even though the third Twilight book, Eclipse, is already filming, Summit has declined to announce the fourth and final Twilight book as a movie. There's a good reason for this: Breaking Dawn is completely fucking insane, and it is probably totally unfilmable. But if they do film it... man, we are in for a treat.
Breaking Dawn opens with Bella Swan, the lacteal heroine of the series, finally getting married to Edward Cullen, the mopey vampire hero. They go off to honeymoon on Isle Esme, a Brazilian island the Cullen clan owns (this is already ridiculous beyond belief. Imagine a vampire going snorkeling; it basically happens in this book), and Edward is afraid to fuck his new bride. The reason: he's super strong and she's just a human - Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex type of situation here. But Bella wears him down and Edward throws it in her - and knocks her the fuck out, leaving her badly bruised.
Let's go over that again: Edward fucks Bella into unconsciousness. This alone should have you running to Fandango to pre-order your tickets, but it only gets better.
Despite being knocked out cold by his sexual style (and having the headboard destroyed), Bella goes back to Edward for seconds. This time he knocks her up. Yes, an undead vampire apparently has enough viable sperm to impregnate a human woman while fucking her off the coast of Rio de Janero. Stephenie Meyer, you fabulous idiot!
The baby in Bella's belly starts growing incredibly fast. And it starts hurting Bella, as each kick it gives has the super strength of a vampire behind it. As it grows, Bella gets sicker, and then the good stuff starts. The baby kicks so hard it breaks Bella's ribs and then severs her spine. Are you imagining Kristen Stewart wearing a fake pregnancy belly and pretending to have been suddenly crippled by her own fetus? Because I am and it's making me laugh and laugh and laugh.
Oh wait, I missed something. Edward is completely freaked out about the baby, fearing it will kill Bella. He tries to convince her to get an abortion (but seriously, how could she? Vampires are tough to kill even in this shitty series), and goes so far as asking Native American wolfboy Jacob to impregnate his wife so that she can have the baby she desperately wants. I'm dizzy with how ridiculous this is, and we're just getting started.
Eventually the baby starts to get born and Bella is dying. The baby has telepathy, by the way, so everybody can read its thoughts while it's in the womb, and it turns out to have an essentially adult mind. Like Alia in Dune; I would accuse Stephenie Meyer of ripping this off, but anyone who thinks that Meyer might have read Frank Herbert has never been within spitting distance of Twilight. The woman is a moron.
In a moment that demands to be shown on the silver screen, Edward gives Bella an emergency C-section with his fucking teeth. It's like something out of XTro, for the love of God. It's so horrible it's brilliant, and this scene alone is why I remain firm in declaring that David Cronenberg must direct Breaking Dawn. This is surely his movie.
Once the baby is out, Bella gets vamped by Edward, as she's about to die at any moment. Then comes the most astonishing turn of events in 21st century literature, and possibly in the entire history of awful fiction aimed at tweens: Jacob the werewolf, who has been madly in love with Bella, sees the new baby girl and immediately imprints on her. What this means, in layman's terms, is that he falls in love with the baby.
I want to pull this out on its own: Jacob falls in love with a baby.
The book makes no bones about this; while Jacob doesn't want to fuck the baby right off the bat, he can't stand to be away from it and visits everyday. His love has been transferred from Bella to the baby (who has the tongue shattering name Renesmee), and because of the science behind imprinting he'll love her forever. So one day he's going to stick his wolf dick in this girl that he see as a bloody newborn. Romance is not dead, it's just being abused by insane Mormon writers.
There's more in Breaking Dawn - the Volturi come back, for one thing - but these are the main amazing events that demand this book to be turned into a film. I will not rest until I have seen a movie in which a werewolf falls in love with a baby. Hell, once I've seen a werewolf fall in love with a baby I may quit movie watching - I will have seen the ultimate culmination of a century of cinema. The entire film of Breaking Dawn would play like the weirdest exploitation film since Doris Wishman died - brutal sex, bizarre body horror, unbelievable pedophilia.
A werewolf falling in love with a baby. This is why Thomas Edison invented this shit in the first place. So we could see a werewolf fall in love with a baby.
I can't wait for Breaking Dawn!
Probably Summer 2010!
I thought Eclipse came out this holiday season?
I'm confused, never mind.
I kind of thought Space Balls was funny when I was 12, but now I definitely don't. Whenever people bring it up I always have to fake laugh and change the subject.
