‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Ends it’s Theatrical Run

Alt Film Guide is reporting that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has officially ended it’s theatrical run with a worldwide total of $690,131,507. But did it really beat New Moon? Read more below for details.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, directed by David Slade, starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, and adapted by Melissa Rosenberg from Stephenie Meyer’s novel has officially ended its run after 114 days, as per Box Office Mojo. Eclipse took in $300,531,751 (43.5%) at US/Canada theaters, in addition to $389,599,756 (56.5%) for a worldwide total of $690,131,507. It’s the fourth biggest domestic box-office hit of the year, after Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, and Iron Man 2.
Domestically, Eclipse made more money than either Twilight and New Moon. But considering 2010’s higher ticket prices and the fact that Eclipse was screened at nearly 200 IMAX theaters (which charge more than regular theaters), in all likelihood New Moon remains the Twilight movie that sold the most tickets. (Eclipse would have needed another $1.5-2.5m to surpass its predecessor.)
