Bella & Edward in New Moon
Variety reports that New Moon has raked in more than $200 million at the domestic box office.
In its eighth day of release, Summit Entertainment’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” crossed the double-century mark making an estimated $206.1 million.
The domestic B.O. for “New Moon” easily eclipsed that of the first “Twilight” which amassed $192.8 million in 20 weeks.
In the first three days of the holiday frame beginning Wednesday, “New Moon” has grossed $41.4 million
It seems that resistence is futile when it comes to the Twilight Saga franchise. This just proves how much devotion we are as fans.
I wonder if we can make it to $300 million?

USA Today reports the latest rise of New Moon on the big screen:
The Twilight Saga: New Moon notched the third-largest debut on record this weekend, taking in $140.7 million, according to studio estimates from Nielsen EDI.
The latest chapter of the vampire saga, which has made pinup stars of its actors Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, is behind only The Dark Knight’s $158.4 million and Spider-Man 3’s $151.1 million.
From its midnight Thursday opening, Moon was headed for the record books. The film did $26.3 million in midnight screenings, shattering the record of $18.5 million held by Knight.
By midnight Friday, Moon had broken the single-day record with $72.7 million, again eclipsing Knight with $67.2 million.
The movie did another $118.1 million overseas.
While the Twilight films have never wowed critics – just 29% of reviewers recommended Moon, according to RottenTomatoes.com – the franchise has been critic-proof, particularly among women, who made up 80% of the audience.
