New Moon: This movie somehow managed to record the 3rd best opening weekend in the history of cinema – $140.7 million. “It ranks as the third-biggest opening on record, behind the pop culture behemoths “The Dark Knight,” which sold $158.4 million last year, and “Spider-Man 3,” which sold $151.1 million in 2007.” Did anyone here see this movie? Didn’t see its precursor, Twilight, won’t see New Moon, and have no idea what these movies are about, except they involve teen angst, vampires, and werewolves. [NYT]
