Eclipse headed for $180 by Monday 1 comment
Taken from the LA Times:
Like the last two movies based on Stephenie Meyer’s fan favorite vampire books, “The Twilight Sage: Eclipse,” which debuted Wednesday, is set to draw hordes of young women this weekend and should generate about $180 million in the U.S. and Canada by the national holiday Monday.
Last November’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” grossed $179 million in the U.S. and Canada by its sixth day and “Eclipse” will likely do at least that much by Monday and possibly as much as $200 million, said people who have seen prerelease surveys. The new film has an advantage over its predecessor given the holiday weekend, the fact that many students are off from school and can go to weekday matinees, and that it is the first “Twilight” movie to play on premium priced Imax screens.
As a result, total receipts for the new film will almost certainly be very front-loaded, with most of its revenue coming in the first week.
“It’s a compressed period during which we expect to do a whole bunch of business,” said Summit domestic distribution president Richard Fay.
It remains to be seen, however, whether “Eclipse” will significantly outperform the $297-million total gross of “New Moon,” or if it will simply be the same “Twilight” fans turning out once again.
Eclipse breaks Wednesday opening with $68.5M record 1 comment
UPDATE THURSDAY 1:00 PM:
Number revised upward to $68.5M
UPDATE THURSDAY 2:00 AM:
Early figures estimate that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will break the record for a Wednesday opening, taking in $65M. This tops the $62M brought in by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Included in the total is the $30M reported previously from midnight and 3:00 AM screenings. In comparison, The Twilight Saga: New Moon took in $72.7M from 4,024 theaters on its opening day, setting a new all-time single day box office record. Of course, that was a Friday, not a Wednesday.
These numbers are not official and are only estimates based on early reports. However, these preliminary figures are usually fairly close to the final data. Summit Entertainment will officially announce domestic and worldwide numbers later.

Twilight Sequel Sets New Box Office Records according to the BBC 1 comment
An article on the BBC website today confirms that Eclipse has broken the records set by the previous films for the takings from the midnight showings of the film in the US and Canada.
The latest film in the Twilight series has broken the record set by its predecessor for takings from midnight screenings in the US and Canada.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse made more than $30 million (£20.1m) from midnight screenings on Wednesday, according to its distributor Summit Entertainment.
That exceeded the $26.3m (£17.6m) New Moon made when it opened last November.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart star in Eclipse, the third instalment in the vampire romance series.
The film has its UK premiere later, with advance screenings to follow this weekend ahead of its official UK release on 9 July.
Neither Stewart and Pattinson will be at the London premiere, although it will be attended by director David Slade and other cast members.
Twilight fans – dubbed “Twi-hards” by some – lined up hours ahead of the first midnight showings.
Experts expect Eclipse to have a record-breaking US debut over the traditionally lucrative Fourth of July weekend.
