Summit's Eclipse began the Fourth of July frame Tuesday night with
record-breaking midnight totals, earning more than $30 million at some
4,000 engagements.
The Twilight franchise's third outing, which surpassed predecessor
New Moon ($26.2 million) for the late night crown, expanded to 4,437
locations on Friday, the largest count to date. Eclipse will go up
against the frame's other wide release, Paramount's 3D tentpole The Last
Airbender, which is expected to appeal most to males age 25 and under,
at 3,169 engagements. Variety |
