New Moon Dominates Holiday Box Office
New Moon, starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, has taken the top spot at the box office again in what amounts to the best Thanksgiving weekend ever for the film industry.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Blind Side are almost exclusively responsible for the achievement.
After its record-breaking first weekend, New Moon took home another $42.5 million over the three-day holiday weekend, bringing its domestic tally so far to a whopping $230.7 million.
The Blind Side, however, finished a close second with $40.1 million.
Taking in better than $100.3 million so far this year, the inspiring flick is the second $100 million hit of the year for Sandra Bullock. The first was The Proposal which banked $164 million.
Rounding out the top three was 2012, adding another $18 to the pile of money the disaster flick has already generated its first month at the box office.
All totaled, the box office drew a record $278 million for the holiday weekend.
