"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" delivered a stunning $142.8 million opening last weekend, but the Chris Weitz-directed sequel certainly isn't lacking when it comes to pulling big numbers during the week.
In fact, "Moon" scored $10.5 million Monday, followed by $11.3 million Tuesday. The sequel to "Twilight" scored an average of around $2,700 per theater at 4,024 locations, lifting its total to $164.6 million.
It will now be interesting to see whether the film will be able to cross the $200 million mark domestically by the end of Thanksgiving weekend. It faces competition from "Old Dogs" and "Ninja Assassin."
Also opening today are "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "The Road." Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock's "The Blind Side" generated another $4.9 million Tuesday, which isn't a bad result either. Stay tuned for more...
