Final box office figures for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" showed the movie's ticket sales rising to $142.8 million from a originally estimated $140.7 million ( and initially predicted $100 million), the studio behind the film said on Monday. It enjoyed the biggest opening weekend of 2009 and placed third for the top opening weekend ever behind last year's Batman movie "The Dark Knight" ($158 million) and 2007's "Spider-Man 3" ($151 million).
New Moon grossed $72.7 million on Friday, according to estimates from Summit Entertainment, shattering The Dark Knight’s previous opening-day record of $67.2 million. (The figure includes the $26.3 million New Moon banked from midnight screenings, also a box office record.) All the more impressive considering New Moon opened in 342 fewer theaters than The Dark Knight did last year.
While one might suspect that "New Moon's" audience was almost entirely made up of teenagers, Summit Entertainment's official analysis of North American moviegoers indicates that only 50% of the film's crowd was under the age of 21, showing that the love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob extends beyond the target age group. The audience was, however, 80% female.
What does that have to do with anything?I don't know but it gives me an excuse to post this clip.

If KS ever makes a movie half as funny as his speeches he will be the one setting box-office records.
