The Twilight Saga: Eclipse sets the record for Wednesday opening day
The film broke the Wednesday record set last year by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which opened at $62 million almost exactly a year ago. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's mark includes the record-breaking $30 million the film took in from midnight screenings as well. The film also broke the record for widest opening release with 4,416 theaters.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse did fall a bit short of another record, though. The film couldn't quite surpass its predecessor, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which still holds the record for all-time opening day with a whopping $72.7 million.
We'll be sure to keep you posted with any further box office news regarding The Twilight Saga: Eclipse as soon as more figures come in.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was released June 30th, 2010 and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz. The film is directed by David Slade.

Sadly, nothing worth seeing right now. Certainly not this trash. Inception will save the day :)

@mrman3810 The opening weekend is Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday(since it is a Holiday weekend). Wednesday and Thursday numbers will not count in the weekend totals. So the weekend numbers for Twilight will be about 75 to 80 million dollars.

@moviemaniack1993 The numbers already it will make less than the last movie in the series. Which is quite sad. This movie won't even surpass what Iron Man 2 did in its first weekend.

'I predict in about five years Twilight will have prequel movies. Movies that show all the dead-eyed boring ass loves that Eddie had in that 100 years before he met that Kristen chick. AND THE NIGHT WILL BE FILLED WITH THE MOOS OF THE CASH COWS'

Lol!! I love it. The reviews are better for this than The Last Airbender which everyone swore would be a hit and I said would be a bomb. Well who was right? The Last Airbender sits at 6% on RottenTomstoes. Wow! Worse than Jonah Hex. I cannot wait for the weekend numbers.

And Joss Whedon rolls over in his grave. What? He's not dead? Thats' right, he's UN-dead, just like Ed and ME!!
It's all in the timing folks - give it a couple of years, and like skinny jeans, Converse flats, and the 'fro, these tweener brats will "discover" that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a thousand fvcking times better than this over-hyped garbage.

I had to work, which I thought was a perfect, truthful excuse to skip the showing. My girlfriend said she'd just see it twice. Go to hell, Ed. ;P

It goes to show how flat people are now a days when it comes to knowing what is good, bad, and ugly. These people don't have a clue.

This just proves that it won't do as good as the last film. And it pretty much has no chance at breaking The Dark Knight's record for biggest opening weekend.
