The Twilight Saga: New Moon Breaks Box Office Records


Recommended Posts

Summit Entertainment has announced that The Twilight Saga: New Moon has broken box office records, earning over $26.27 million in midnight screenings from 3,514 theaters. This destroys the $22.2 million midnight record held by Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, and the previous second place, Christopher Nolan?s Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, which earned $18.4 million in midnight earnings. Also, Summit?s re-release of the original Twilight on Thursday night on 2,057 screens resulted in $1.3 million in ticket sales.

Twilight.. beating.. The Dark Knight? suicide.gif

My thoughts exactly... :x

P.S. - When did the vampire/folk monster legend genre become so...so..."teen romance-cliche"??

Sadly I went to a friends last night and arrived about 30 mins into him being forced by his younger sister to watch the first Twilight. I could not stop laughing at this horrible movie. There was little to no action, the love story was pretty horrible, and everything seemed to not make sense... maybe I was laughing too much to pay attention. Horrible movie.

Thats ****ed up...at least dark knight destroys twilight in ratings.

New one got 30% on rottentomatoes

The books are pieces of **** too. Honestly, this vampire romance bull**** is getting ridiculous now.

I miss the days of Blade, and the ones when vampires were something out of a horror movie. Instead of ****** who walks around in daylight wearing glitter and dating teenage girls

wow, a lot of Twilight hate on this board...

yeah it's nothing "spectacular" and not worth all the hype, but i must admit i'm kinda into these cheesy-teen-chick-flicks (in fact, most chick flicks in general.... Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman etc...). i'm therefore not ashamed to admit that i quite liked Twilight.

not seen New Moon though........... yet!

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
