but the weekend isn't over

Box office estimates are usually released for Sundays and are usually fairly accurate... the final list will probably be released Monday afternoon.

Twilight was horrible, but I might see this just because it's going to be one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

In the 1960s and 1970s many companies started to realize that teenage girls were a demographic with some of the highest buying power because they tended to have a great deal of access to their parents’ money and the money they had was entirely disposable income. Twilight is just another product that has been highly successful at targeting this demographic.

Well, at least it didn't beat Batman....

But, this movies are going to be HUGE is sales.

Maybe Eclipse (the next one) will sell even more....
