I’ve been colloquially saying for the past few days that I think The Twilight Saga: New Moon could make $100 million or more in its opening weekend. But I didn’t know that those were the “official” predictions until now. From the Hollywood blog Deadline.com:
Of course Summit Entertainment is lowering expectations, privately saying that the Twilight sequel will do $85 million from 4,000+ theaters on Friday, including Thursday midnights. That’s despite all the hype and sold out screenings…my quick survey of box office analysts shows that Hollywood is expecting New Moon to do Iron Man numbers, or $100M.
The first Twilight made $70 million in its opening weekend from 400 fewer theaters. It’s been a year and the hype has only built since then, enough to make it the #1 advanced ticket seller ever. So can it make $100 million? Sure. Heck, I bet it will do more than $110.
