New Moon reigned at the top with the highest midnight-showing numbers at $26.27M and number one opening day numbers, ringing in $72.7M. Early estimates, as of today, show that with these numbers plus Saturday's $43M gross, New Moon should rake in $140M+ for its opening weekend putting it at #3 on the top opening-day weekend list (behind Dark Knight with $158.4M and Spider-Man 3 with $151.1M).PROnetworks goes on to add:
This would translate into a 40% drop from Friday to Saturday, about the exact same percentage decrease Twilight had one year ago (down 40.8% Saturday, down 41.9% Sunday). Adding the $43M estimate to Friday's official number of $72.7 brings the total to $115.7M. Another 40% drop going into Sunday is projected to yield about $24M, based on advance sales, tracking polls, and other industry formulas.
These numbers are not official and are only estimates based on early reports. However, these preliminary figures are usually fairly close to the final data. Summit Entertainment will officially announce domestic and worldwide weekend numbers later on Sunday.
