'NEW MOON' SCORES THIRD-BIGGEST OPENING WEEKEND

The second installment in The Twilight Saga, which stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, shattered industry expectations, when it more than doubled the opening weekend of the first film.


Final box office figures for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" showed the movie's ticket sales rising to $142.8 million from an estimated $140.7 million last weekend, the studio behind the film said on Monday.

"New Moon" opened on Friday as a sequel to last year's "Twilight." It enjoyed the biggest opening weekend of 2009 and placed third for the top opening weekend ever behind last year's Batman movie "The Dark Knight" ($158 million) and 2007's "Spider-Man 3" ($151 million).

"New Moon" also set a record on Friday for box office results from midnight screenings, with $26.3 million.

The film is from independent studio Summit Entertainment.
