New Moon Holds On To Opening Day Record

HitFix has a new article looking at the opening day numbers for Iron Man 2. What does that have to do with Twilight? Well, it turns out that the much anticipated Iron Man 2 couldn’t even get close to the opening day record that New Moon holds, meaning the only competition that New Moon has in the near future might just be it’s sequel, Eclipse. Read more below:

If you noticed your “Iron Man 2″ screening on Friday wasn’t sold out, you weren’t the only one. The highly-anticipated sequel opened to a strong, but not spectacular first day of $52 million. Historically, that places it seventh all-time behind 2006’s $55.8 million for “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.” That makes “The Twilight Saga: New Moon’s” $72.7 million record safe for quite some time. At this point, the vampire series may only have to look out for it’s own new chapter, “Eclipse,” to, um, eclipse it’s current mark.

Yeah, I fist-pumped in the air when I saw this article. I love that New Moon had such impressive opening day numbers. I look forward to seeing Eclipse take over the number one spot!

Did you think Iron Man 2 could take over the top opening day spot? Do you think Eclipse will beat New Moon?
