And no, I have no idea why BOM screwed up the # of weeks out for An Education again. And holy shit at the per-theater for Broken Embraces. I know one of you said you were going to see it last night -- how was it, and how packed was that theater?!

UPDATE from The-Numbers



From the AP:
The Twilight Saga: New Moon" took in $72.7 million in its first day to break the single day domestic box office record previously held by "The Dark Knight," which had a $67.2 million opening day last year.

The Friday haul for the "Twilight" sequel includes a record $26.3 million from midnight screenings alone.

If "New Moon" maintains its pace, it might have a shot at the all-time best opening weekend record of $158.4 million, also held by "The Dark Knight."

BoxOffice.com had the numbers up first. They do it out of order so that's why there's no numbers and colored boxes don't match up. Deal w/ it.

What horror movies are you going to watch before you head out tonight?

I'll start watching the Evil Dead trilogy for the probably the 100th time about dinnertime.

fyi: i made the poster before the final #s came in. So Amelia isn't a bomb, it's only in 800 theaters and the per-screen is better than Saw VI's and Law Abiding Citizen's.
