The most awaited movie this year finally opened in theaters worldwide last November 20, 2009. It was a very successful debut on its first day until its first week breaking nearly all box-office records. Stephenie Meyer’s teen cult novel New Moon, which is the sequel of 2008 movie Twilight set records as the biggest midnight opening in domestic box officehistory, grossing an estimated $26.3 million in 3,514 theatres in United States and Canada alone.
The movie grossed up to $72.7 million on its opening day domestically, becoming the biggest single-day opening in domestic history, breaking The Dark Knight's $67.2 million set last year. The opening weekend of New Moon is the third highest opening weekend in domestic history with a whopping $142,839,137, and the sixth highest worldwide opening weekend in history with $274.9 million total. These weren’t a surprise considering that many Twilight fans, just like me, anticipated the sequel eagerly.
Humans, vampires and werewolves are all in one epic movie that surely makes a name for itself as it continues a journey toward an everlasting forbidden love. The Twilight Saga: New Moon is one of those few so called chick flick films that hit the big screen successfully with a little twist when a teenage girl falls in love to a 90-year old vampire.
When I watched the movie in the cinema, I was really amazed on the movie, two thumbs up on New Moon director Chris Weitz. I was not disappointed when I watched the movie mainly because of the excellent cinematography of the film as it rides alone with the story in the book. Compared to Twilight, New Moon has more action scenes and the dialogue works are more profound.
The movie looks great, entertaining and excellent acting from both Kristen Stewart who plays Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen. I read the book, seeing it to come true is like a dream that’s why I’m planning to watch the movie again because it’s one hell of a story to miss out. It’s definitely an unforgettable and immortal love story that touches my heart as I watched it.
