Eclipse opened on a wednesday in the middle of summer. Not that easy to compare.

Because series tend to become more frontloaded with every movie and if the number of 70Mio became true, that would mean more frontloadedness for me: Bigger midnights and much less than New Moon did during the rest of Friday.The midnight crowd probably consists of 95% of fans and/or book readers/admirers, so they would come anyway. The smaller friday number would be much more telling, as that may be a sign for less interest with general audiences.But it's early. It may very well become an 75Mio opening day within the next 3 hours...

You noticed the use of quotation marks?It would be concerning in the context of not following the previous films success, as the movie is expected to be even more frontloaded and it could be a sign, that the, in my eyes, horrible storyline of the last book may have an impact.

70Mio including midnights would be quite "concerning", because with my calculation, that wouldn't even be enough for 130Mio OW.That number for Happy Feet is just horrible.

Breaking Dawn does 30.25 mill at midnights!!!

That's a very good number.I think we look at an opening day as high as "New Moon" and a little more frontloadedness over the weekend for something like 138Mio.Since New Moons opening in 2009, there was Avatar and the digital boom. No way DH2 would have reached the number it did in july, if it opened back in 2009 so my guess is, that "Breaking Dawn" is going to be a little more frontloaded than "New Moon". -
I hope we're finally looking at a weekend finishing above expectations. It'd be about time.Hi to everyone and thanks for giving us a new home at Box Office Theory. I've been a longtime reader at BOM and now finally took the opportunity to become part of this community. Don't be too harsh on me, English is not my first language.
