NEW MOON opens to $140 million, THE BLIND SIDE opens big
New Moon sparkled like a vampire in the daylight this weekend, taking in $140.7 million at the domestic box office. That’s enough to give The Twilight Saga: New Moon the third biggest opening of all-time, behind The Dark Knight ($158m) and Spider-Man 3 ($151m). The film is on pace to beat Twilight‘s $192 million total gross by the end of the week.
But New Moon isn’t the only big news to come out of the box office this weekend. We can quietly forgive Sandra Bullock for All About Steve because the actress just had the biggest opening in her career. The Blind Side, about a family that takes in a young man for the streets, took in $34.5 million. It’s the second time this year, Sandra has bested herself, the other time being when The Proposal opened to $33.6 million in June.
