‘New Moon’ headed for $90-million-plus launch
Posted on November 20th, 2009 by Hot Momma
As we finally reach Friday’s (November 20) opening of “New Moon,” several thousand tickets have already sold out, according to Fandango, AMC, and MovieTickets.com, which say the film has broken advance ticket sales records set by the likes of Dark Knight, Lord of the Rings, Revenge of the Sith, and Harry Potter.
Edward and Bella’s latest bite at the box office looks like it will be the second biggest of 2009, and will likely sell about $90 million worth of tickets this weekend and could possibly exceed $100 million. To put that in perspective, the first “Twilight” movie opened to $69.6 million on the same weekend last year.
Fandango reports that ten percent of fans plan to dress up as film characters, while MovieTickets.com reports that 87 percent of its ticket buyers are women. Those lucky enough to score tickets to a Thursday night advance screening may be deaf this morning. Fandango reported that 51 percent of fans were prepared to scream as the lights went down. Eat your heart out, Harry Potter.
Twilight opened at almost 70 mil– lets heigten the odds– New Moon opening 115 mil or more.
It’s finally time! The Twilight Saga: New Moon is available to be watched online in high quality.
I got my tickets for the midnight movie tonight last night and let me just tell you, THIS WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST MOVIE. Um hello how hot was Jacob in this one, I swear I will be a team Jacob girl for life. The movie met all my expectations, check out some great pics I found that I wanted to share, soooo hot/great/amazing!!
