Totals are in from the six-day box office for “Eclipse”:
No record? No worries.
Vampires still basked in the rockets’ red glare during the weekend, as Summit Entertainment threequel “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” rung up a bloody good $82.5 million in domestic boxoffice during the four-day Independence Day frame.
But though “Eclipse” soared to $175.3 million in cumulative boxoffice since unspooling on Wednesday, that was overshadowed by the $178.9 million that franchise predecessor “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” sunk its teeth into during its first six days in release last November.
Also, Sony’s “Spider-Man 2″ used a Wednesday-through-Monday bow during 2004′s July 4th weekend to register $180.1 million during its first six days in the marketplace.
With the latest “Twilight” installment’s production costs estimated at a modest $68 million, “Eclipse” already is well into a profitable orbit. But it will be interesting to see how high it can fly after notable drops in daily grosses following fan-fueled sellouts during the pic’s first day of performances.
“This has been a great way to spend the Fourth of July weekend, that’s for sure,” Summit distribution topper Richie Fay enthused. “If there was a surprise, it was how big the first midnight showings were. Quite frankly, we didn’t know what to expect with the Wednesday opening.”
