Box Office Mojo Discusses “Eclipse” Potential Box Office Success

Eclipse opens June 30, but it’s effectively a July release because its first weekend starts July 2. The third Twilight movie hits theaters just over seven months after The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which set the opening day record ($72.7 million) and ultimately collected $296.6 million. The history of closely-timed, serialized sequels like The Matrix Revolutions and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End points to Eclipse grossing less than New Moon. However, Eclipse is based on what many deem the best Twilight novel, and its previews have pumped up the dramatic action and Bella-Edward-Jacob romance. While Eclipse’s Wednesday debut will keep it from setting the opening weekend record, it will vie for the Independence Day weekend record currently held by Spider-Man 2’s $88.2 million.
