July 1, 2010 - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse / record-setting midnight opening
Scooped on Thursday, July 1, 2010
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse set a new record for midnight grosses yesterday. Preliminary figures sent in by the theaters indicate that Eclipse grossed at least $30 million dollars alone from the late night showings, besting the record set by New Moon last fall by nearly $4 million. At least $1 million of that impressive figure came from IMAX venues showing the movie. [Full story]
As it's now the day after Eclipse's opening the early results of its first full day out are also materializing. According to the data Eclipse took in $68.5 million dollars yesterday, giving it the new mantle of being the best Wednesday opening ever. It's also the second-highest single day gross ever (right after New Moon with its $72.7m Friday opening day.)
