TWILIGHT’S WEEKEND BOX OFFICE LOWERS TO $69.6 MILLION

Posted November 24th, 2008 By: 14 Comments »

Reuters is reporting that the original box office numbers were slightly higher than they actually ended up:

Vampire romance “Twilight” saw its box office tally lowered slightly to $69.6 million from an estimated $70.5 million for its debut in theaters this past weekend, according to final studio figures released on Monday.

The film, which is based on author Stephenie Meyer’s books about a teenage girl and her romance with a vampire boy, was the No. 1 movie at U.S. and Canadian box offices, beating James Bond flick “Quantum of Solace” which was No. 2 with final ticket sales of 26.7 million.

The final tally didn’t lower that much. It still made a lot of money for opening weekend. And they usually over estimate anyway, so this doesn’t surprise me. What do you think?

I predicted (before the movie was released) that Twilight’s first weekend gross would be between $60 mil. and $90 mil.

I’m not surprised by the numbers. I went to see it today and totally amazed by the special effects, it’s such a beautiful movie. Rob & Kristen were fantastic in it. I was really taken by the fight scene where Bella was biten. Her acting was really superb and where Edward saves her by sucking out of venom. I enjoyed it so much, I’ll be going back again.

I am going to a neighbouring country just to watch twilight as their release date is much much earlier. And when its released in my country, I am planning to catch it at least 3 times. Aiming for 5, if my parents allow me to spend that much on a movie.
