The Worst Has Happened

Sure, it was going to be huge. Massive even. This big? Not even a box office guru like me is not afraid to admit his blindness. 80 million first day, 135 weekend. With a first day like that, it should be 180 million weekend. We are inching closer to a 100 million first day, and when that day comes we will have reached a milestone of hype that will be hard to back away. Not sure if Twilight 3 (Eclipse) can recapture the hysterical heights of New Moon, but 80 million on first day is the amount of money Summit Entertainment (its distributor) made last year without Twilight.
