Twilight Saga: New Moon Sets Records, Hauls in $140 million
deserves much more than this.
Yes, damn those neanderthal Americans who would rather watch a family film than one about a couple of losers making a porno film to make some extra cash.

The highest any Smith film has ever opened is 'Jay and Silent Bob SB' with $11m.
I believe the estimated budget for Z&M is around $25m. Of course most studios would prefer to make back the budget of each film in it's opening weekend; that does happen to often. Most of the time films aim to open around the halfway mark of the total budget(not always including marketing cost). So if Z&M's opened at $15m would that have still been a flop? Or did it need to open like an Apatow 'Directed' film(20+million) to not been considered a flop?
I think $10.7(if this estimate holds up) is a decent opening. The numbers are a little lite, but remember that the film opened on Halloween. If you look at how much the numbers jumped from Friday-to-Saturday it becomes clear that the film could have made a few million more had it opened on a different Friday.
Did we see the same movie? Fantastic is rather strong.
