No, New Moon Absolutely, Positively Didn't Beat Dark Knight

Mon., Nov. 23, 2009 2:13 PM PST by Joal Ryan

Summit Entertainment

Twi-hards, you were right: New Moon's Sunday box office was bigger than estimated.

Twi-hards, you were wrong: New Moon wasn't big enough to dethrone The Dark Knight as Hollywood's all-time opening-weekend champ. (Or, for that matter, to displace No. 2, Spider-Man 3.)

Final numbers, released today, show the Twilight sequel finished the weekend with a spectacular $142.8 million, up from the, well, spectacular $140.7 million of first reports.

In the end, New Moon made $72.7 million on Friday, $42.3 million Saturday and $27.8 million on Sunday.

Twi-hards, take note: Next time, the Dark Knight-beating number you're looking for on Sunday (assuming the other returns stay the same) is $43.5 million. Lotsa luck, Eclipse.

While New Moon didn't break the Batguy's record, the Pattz-powered sequel did have plenty of pretty people in it. Take a look-see in our New Moon Premiere gallery.
