CJohn Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) From DHD FRIDAY 2:30 PM, 3RD UPDATE: Summit Entertainment’s Breaking Dawn Part 1 is shattering Hollywood’s box office slump today. My sources say this fourth film version of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga vampire novels is looking at opening to $72+ million in North American grosses, consisting of $42+M for matinee and evening screenings in 4,061 theaters, plus $30.25M for 12:01 PM post-midnight showings in 3,521 locations. Right now Breaking Dawn may wind up with the franchise best one-day and Friday opening, surging past Twilight‘s $36M, New Moon‘s $72.7M, and Eclipse‘s $68.5M. Stay tuned for more updates.

blackspider Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Not bad. Should go up to at least around 75m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Knowing the way Nikki's been recently, I call $69m as the actual number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 About 80M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussslic Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Wow, I honestly thought interest for the franchise had waned a bit... guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Ok. So it appears doubtful that Breaking Dawn will sell more tickets than DHII in its OD. I'm wondering if this thing can crack 150m for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 New Moon's OD adjusts to around 76m. Seems like a reasonable goal for Breaking Dawn to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadne Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Ok. So it appears doubtful that Breaking Dawn will sell more tickets than DHII in its OD.No one who knows what they're talking about thought it would. Why are people comparing this to DH2? It should be compared to the previous 3 twilight movies, and if you really want to compare it to a Harry Potter movie, then compare it to DH1.
