To say that 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' exceeded expectations at the box office this weekend is like saying Secretariat ran away from the field in the 1973 Belmont Stakes. Yeah, he ran away ... by 31 lengths! And that's about the distance between 'New Moon' and 'The Blind Side,' the weekend's surprising runner-up.
'New Moon' sold an estimated $140 million worth of tickets since its midnight showings Thursday and its last screenings Sunday night. The most optimistic forecasts had it grossing just over $100 million. On Friday, the sequel to last year's first adaptation of the popular vampire novels eclipsed last year's 'The Dark Knight' in setting the single-day box office record at $72.7 million. 'The Dark Knight' still holds the opening weekend record of $158.4 million, and 'Spider-Man 3' is still second.
