"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" is waning at the box office but still has gotten off to a blockbuster start with $161 million in its first five days.The third chapter in the vampire romance fell off sharply after debuting last Wednesday with $68.5 million. That was the second-best opening-day haul ever, behind its predecessor, last year's "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," which opened with $72.7 million.
From Friday to Sunday, "Eclipse" took in $69 million, a fraction more than it managed just on opening day.
Its total through Sunday came in well short of the $200 million mark set last year by "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," the record-holder for best five-day start for movies opening on Wednesday.
Thank you for your article ,it was the fifth busiest weekend of the year for theaters, full effect with families across the country grilling feasts and watching fireworks, but it seems that many Americans are headed to movie theaters,I hope you will continuo your informative post.
