TheNumbers.com reports:
New Moon broke all manner of records over the weekend, which was great news for Summit, and for the industry as a whole. New Moon made more all by itself than all other movies combined pulled in last weekend and the overall box office was $259 million, the second biggest weekend on record.
As we’ve been tracking all weekend long, records fell to New Moon, starting before the weekend even began. The first of these was $26.27 million in midnight showings, topping the previous record held by The Dark Knight. It then went on to have the biggest single day at the box office, and tie the record for fastest time to $100 million. By the end of the weekend, it has managed $142.84 million, the third best weekend of all time and it became easily the best November debut of all time.
Reuters reports on international sales:
Vampire romance “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” took the top spot at North American box offices for the second straight weekend, sinking its fangs into ticket sales and drawing out $66 million over the 5-day U.S. Thanksgiving holiday ($42.5 million for the three days). It’s two-week total in the U.S. and Canada now stands at just under $231 million. Add to that an international haul of $243, and global sales hit $474 million.
