To no one’s surprise, Twilight Eclipse opened big, almost as big as New Moon. Here are the numbers:

The first six days of Eclipse brought in $175 million domestic and another $100 million overseas. New Moon’s domestic gross was $178 in six days.

As for the gender breakdown reports have it at 65% women and 35% men, and 55% over 21 and 45% under 21. The budget for Eclipse was between $68 and $70 million.

Huge fucking hit no matter if it didn’t match New Moon‘s numbers.

Winter’s Bone directed by Debra Granick is still kicking ass at the box office. This is clearly an example of a good film finding an audience. This makes me so happy. This past weekend it expanded to 83 screens and grossed $565,900 for a total of $1.847 million. It will surely make back its budget of $2 million. A huge success for Roadside Attractions.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work directed by Ricki Stern and co-directed by Annie Sundberg expanded to 112 screens and grossed $448,000 for a total of $1.597 million. A doc crossing the $1 million mark is a big deal, this film will most probably go over $2 million.

On another note, Letters to Juliet just crossed the $50 million mark
