Twilight New Moon Wins Second Weekend at Box Office, Barely Beats Bullock

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 Leave a Comment

Despite a record breaking 24 hours of New Moon madness last weekend, Cullen and company barely squeezed past Bullock's surprise hit 'The Blind Side' earning $42.5 million over the football drama's $40.1 million, the Huff Post reports.

The combination of these films and the rest of the box office broke the record for Thanksgiving weekend earnings raking in $278 million from Wednesday-to-Sunday.

This shattered the previous record of $244 million from 2000, when "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Unbreakable" were on top. The irony is overwhelming.

Even the absolutely tasteless 'Ninja Assassins' pulled in $13 million in the six spot this weekend.

This just goes to show you what happens when raging teenage girls and football fans can share the box office. Maybe that isn't what this shows, but it does show that Sandra Bullock isn't as worthless as people previously perceived her to be. We think.

Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? Do you think that Burger King is right to bring Twilight into their advertising campaign or is it unbelievable that any of the hotties from Twilight would ever eat fast food?
