New Moon is on its way to breaking the weekend box office record? If Showings late last night are any indication, there may be a chance.
I'm hearing that last night's Midnight Showings (and at 10 pm in some cities like Kelowna) of the latest film in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, raked in anywhere between a whopping $ 23-26 Million in revenues. If the numbers hold, it would break a new midnight opening record, easily taking over "The Dark Knight's $ 18.4M set on July 18, 2008, and Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince's $ 22.2M set on July 15, 2009. There are no official numbers yet but this thing is bigger than Hollywood expected.
Here in Kelowna, 10 pm Showings at the Grand 10 and Capitol were sold out. All of tonight's Showings at the Grand 10 are expected to be sold out by noon today, and as of late last night only the late showing had any remaining tickets.
VIDEOGRAPHER Gary Moore and I were there to capture the wild action at the Grand 10 as hundreds of fans lined up for hours to be first to catch the premiere showing of the film. Theater manager Amela Cheng told us she hasn't seen anything quite like it before, perhaps only with Spiderman and Lord of the Rings.
