The Twi-hards are in full effect this weekend!

Friday's opening of New Moon earned $72.7 million dollars at the box office, making it the film with the highest grossing single day sales ever!!!

Although are any of you really that surprised?????

The new Twilight flick is expected to pull in $125 million over the weekend, which will place it at #4 on the list of the top-grossing opening weekend films, falling short behind 2008's The Dark Knight ($158.4 million), 2007's Spider-Man 3 ($151 million) and 2006's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($135.6 million).

Regardless, congrats!

      I Think it'll be number one in the end of this wk

      Ugh god… Now they'll NEVER shut up.

      Well, like most sane people, I care about reviews instead, and it's getting shitty reviews. End of story.

      I can't til a couple years from now when people will go back to being like "twilight? Huh? Oh I GUESS I remember it… Hmm.. Whatever!!"

      I too was duped into thinking this was a film with REAL actors. I felt so bad for the poor acting in this film (worse than general hospital). In fact, I spent most of the time laughing (at the cheesiness of it all, and then at myself for dropping 10.00 + 10.50 on popcorn).

      BE AWARE, I WENT TO SEE PRECIOUS TONIGHT, AND BOUGHT 8 TICKETS TO THE 5:50 PM SCREENING, THEY GAVE US 8 TICKETS FOR TWILIGHT, AND WOULD NOT REIMBURSE US FOR THE CORRECT MOVIE, THEY JUST USHERED US INTO THE PRECIOUS MOVIE, TO KEEP SILENT!!!! THERE IS A SCANDAL GOING ON AMONGST MOVIE THEATERS OR SOMETHING

      Too bas your fat ass can't bring in that much traffic.

      Re: SookieStax – I haven't really read any of the comments on here but I did stumble upon yours. And you are bashing the user "Marilyn Monroe" for "generalizing people" but then you go on to say that she created her name from someone who is "an over-glamorized drug addict whore" so are you not the one who is now generalizing people here? If you are trying to get your point across that's wonderful, but try to do it without being a hypocrite.

      Re: prim&proper – Its bad when the popcorn costs more than the movie! Re: beautifulone7 – I went to NEW MOON and there were no good seats so i got a refund, so sorry no conspiracy.



    9. 109

      New Moon was AMAZING. the only thing that sucked was the hour wait in line with screaming freaking teenage girls saying omg omg he is going to take off his shirt like WTF….. but overall loved the movie

      Re: imsoregistered – i think you didn't understand what i wrote - i didn't write all about the age of the people who go to see the film, i was referring to the "real films that make money" there are hardly any "real films" out there who "make money" - it's as usual: what's good is overheard or overseen - you will hardly see a blockbuster that's also a good film.
      and sorry if my grammar is not college-educated bla - i'm foreign.



    11. 111

      No Wonder Why ROFL.
      It's well good, and Plus
      People Like Me will Pay to see
      it Twice In One Weekend.
      LMAO!



    12. 112

      yay. people can keep on hating all they want (they are entitled to of course) but for every hater, there are many fans.

      The film was great.



    13. 113

      Re: dollfacexx – Yea, Superman, Batman, Startreck, Transformers, Wolverine….. WTF They are all there to ENTERTAIN Us…Do not judge something for that..because there are REAL problems in this world. I go to see Movies to get my Mind off these for a while..and thats all

      114

      I went to see this movie and i'm sorry but it sucks! i didn't like it at all.. too much talking.. the volturi people are only in the movie for 5 minutes that's it? most good parts of the movie are the trailers that were released so it's not worth going to see the movie just wait until the dvd comes out or download it from the internet! ha!



    15. 115

      Re: dollfacexx
      This.

      Re: Scahootowl – Wow,you really are full of useful intelligent comments, aren't you?!



    17. 117

      STORYLINE? WHAT FUCKING STORYLINE? I FINALLY GAVE IN TO MY FRIEND AND WATCHED TWILIGHT ON DVD FRIDAY. IT WAS THE WORST, MOST BORING PIECE OF CRAP I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. IT HAS ZERO SUBSTANCE. (CONTINUED)



    18. 118

      ITS JUST BELLA AND EDWARD GOING OFF IN RANDOM MONOLOGUES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING WOODS AND THEN NOTHING. FIVE MINUTES (IF THAT MUCH) OF FIGHTING BETWEEN EDWARD AND JAMES TO SAVE A HELPLESS BELLA. I NEARLY PISSED MYSELF AT THE INSANE HOMELESS MAN FACES RPATZ WAS MAKING THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE. IT WAS HORRIBLE.. HORRIBLE. KSTEW CANNOT ACT WORTH A SHIT AND NOW I KINDA THINK NEITHER CAN ROB.



    19. 119

      MY FRIEND WANTS ME TO GO SEE NEW MOON WITH HER, AND REALLY I THINK I'D RATHER SLIT MY WRISTS BEFORE I ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.



    20. 120

      well the movie was just okay so i doubt ppl would wanna c it a 2nd time



    21. 121

      If it is not your type of movie, stay the hell out of it! Bottom line you have to read the books to really understand the emotions of these movies. If you haven't read the books, then you have no idea what its all about, so you really shouldn't be saying how "horrible" the acting is. Stewart and Pattinson nail the characters of Bella and Edward, if you read the book you would know. It is FANTASY, and completely original and fresh. I saw New Moon twice this weekend and will see it again and again. I believe the sales will be more than they are predicting.



    22. 122

      I am a Twi-hard, im as hard as it gets!! I have N0T seen New Moon and i am p-o'd!!!!! Im S0 seeing it 2day!!! Lets face it, I need to!!!!! =)



    23. 123

      twilight was a god movie but the director was wack…. so new moon WAS going to have to be much better for me to go see it…… it was a very well writtte movie and a great job by the director…… but i hated the ending how do you just leave off like that??? "i have one condition…. marry me first.. AHH!" (blackness)



    24. 124

      Loved it! People who criticize have not read the books or seen the movies. They are ignorant commentators.



    25. 125

      I



    26. 126

      :) Best action Movie. People howl for the wolves and hiss at the Vamps,



    27. 127

      YOU GUYS SAY THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS WOULD THINK THE MOVIE IS CRAP. I HAVE NEVER READ A HARRY POTTER BOOK IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I -FULLY- ENJOY THE MOVIES DESPITE THAT. A GOOD MOVIE BASED OFF A BOOK TRANSCENDS THE LACK OF HAVING READ IT. IN OTHER WORDS TWILIGHT WAS POORLY MADE WITH BAD ACTORS AND EVEN WORST SUBSTANCE LESS CHARACTERS. SPARKLING VAMPIRES.. PFT.. FUCK THAT SHIT.



    28. 128

      Haters are gonna hate, but I don't give a fuck. Major props go to us Twilight fans for making our movie #1. I was one of the ones that saw it at midnight and it was freaking amazing. I'm not a screaming teen fan, Im a 25 year old teacher who is a rabid fan of both the Twilight movies and the books.



    29. 129

      haha no surprise, its going to get more



    30. 130

      New Moon was ok. It was missing something. There was nothing to connect the events in the storyline, which made it kind of awkward. Twilight was done way better.



    31. 131

      Im Team Stewart…she's Hot…



    32. 132

      I saw the movie on Thursday (in Mexico) and it was awesome! I really liked it! I was sort of expecting it to be a little disappointing as the first one, but I was surprised! I was really good! Congrats to the casting and for the fans… it was great!!



    33. 133

      Re: St00p!d Bitchassness – We get it already. OK? Move along.



    34. 134

      I was at the first local showing and the whole audience was 16 year old girls. It was so funny to hear them squeal over Jacob's body. It was very entertaining, I thought.



    35. 135

      Yes!



    36. 136

      Re: hookedongossip – you are craaazzyyy new moon stuck exactly to the book and last time i checked bella's personality is timid and a little awkward.



    37. 137

      I saw New Moon today and it was freaking awsome!!!



    38. 138

      the movies was great i watched it at the midnight premier and the new director did a wayy better job than the last he included everything, unlike that last chick. i didnt realy like the first movie it was a dissapointment to all who read the books so two thumbs up on this one (:

      and im so glad taylor kept his role because he did an amazing job
      good job taylor!:D
      xoxo autumn



    39. 139

      How old is Taylor? Is 22 too old to be oogling him?
      yum yum



    40. 140

      Re: Obsessed – I am with you. I am 28 married with no kids, a career woman, and I love Twilight! Mind you my husband absolutely hates it, but I think he is just jealous of Edward Cullen!



    41. 141

      Re: daliastar1 – Agreed, the hair and makeup sucked. It almost ruined the film for me.



    42. 142

      the only reason New Moon isn't making more than those other movies is bc it doesn't appeal to enough guys…although i think the guys who did watch it enjoyed it more than they'll admit



    43. 143

      IT was an amazing movie! perez idk why you are hating on this movie it was great. Im not a teenage person or an desperate women either. I like twilight and i really dont care what everyone says. i went to the movie on friday it was great…and there werent that many screaming & jumping up and down kind of people. only a few wherent that calm except when jacob took off his shirt. lol



    44. 144

      I believe itt!!
      but the problem is i still havent seen the damn moviie
      because of the longg azz liness xD but i Am goiing to see itt



    45. 145

      tht is just so woooooow
      never tht it was possible



    46. 146

      New Moon!!

      Soooo Much Better Than Twilight!!!



    47. 147

      just got back from seeing New Moon…as with the book it was a waste of time and money. Stephenie Meyer could have written the contents of New Moon into the first 3 chapters of Eclipse. I thought it was a joke…but my 9 year old daughter liked it so I guess it wasn't a total wash.



    48. 148

      Okay I saw the movie and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I think there are a lot of haters on this post. It was a great movie. My husband is a huge non conformist and he even enjoyed the damn movie! I still like the first one better but I think the movie will continue to sell! I want to see it again.



    49. 149

      i finally saw New Moon today and it was AWESOMEEEEEE wow that was so good I LOVE IT AND THE END JUST MADE ME WANT MORE I LOVE EDWARD AND JACOB SO SEXXXIIII wow the girls were goin crazy expecially when the boys took of their shirts off SEXXIIIII ….and man there was a lot of straight dudes in there and ppl in their 20s IS A LIE WHEN PPL SAY THAT IS ONLY TEEENAGERS…true fact ppl cant wait until ECLIPSE 2010



    50. 150

    56. 156

      wow! i hope Taylor gets rich! he deserve all of this.



    57. 157

      Hello..what the hell is wrong with some of you people.
      New Moon is not Shakespeare or Shindler's List OK., so why make comments like the film is suppose to be Academy award material. It's simply a love story that speaks specifically to women and girls ..got that. It's about a guy, who happens to be playing the part of a vampire, and his undying love for his girl, which all women love and wish still existed! IMO that's why the books are so popular and continue you to sell!
      It's not about the vampires! And please… movies like Transformers, Drag me to Hell are really deep intellectual movies?..Yah right! There primarily for men and little boys who like to be entertained by explosions and girls screaming.
      There shoot him up-big explosions movies with no plot whatsoever, with girls tits hanging out all over the place for the benefit of the guys!
