Twilight tops box office!

Vampires and werewolves ruled at the box office this Fourth of July weekend, with Summit Entertainment’s third installment of “The Twilight Saga” taking in $161.7 million since opening Wednesday.

That’s one of the biggest five-day debuts in Hollywood history, previously surpassed by just a handful of films including “The Dark Knight” and last summer’s sequel to “Transformers.”

After Monday, “Eclipse” is expected to gross around $181 million for the six-day holiday total.

The teen vampire franchise has pulled in major profits for its studio, Summit. A small independent studio in Hollywood, Summit spent just $68 million making “Eclipse,” far less than what many rival studios spend on summer blockbusters, which can cost as much as $150 million or $200 million.

“Eclipse” also helped boost the summer box office, which has trailed behind last year’s record-shattering revenue after a series of movies opened tepidly or flopped at the box office. Still, even with “Eclipse’s” performance, attendance continues to be down nearly 7% compared with last summer and revenue stands slightly lower, too.

Paramount Pictures’ “The Last Airbender,” a 3-D live-action adaptation based on a popular Nickelodeon cartoon, took the second spot at the box office this weekend, grossing $53.2 million since opening Thursday.

That figure stands in line with expectations after the film received poor reviews, but the movie has a long way to go before Paramount can recoup the roughly $150 million it spent on the movie, which the studio also paid to convert into 3-D earlier this year.

The film is, however, estimated to take in more than $70 million after Monday, significantly upping its total.

Personal Thoughts:

I went to the theater with much excitement and so was all the fans with me. I just cant express  how fans shouted with thrill at the start of the movie. It was like a dream come true to see the good script as the movie. But this film is not as expected.

If your an Harry potter fan you will be stunned  by the irrelevant scenes that appears after an another. And if your a new guy who came to see the movie you will find very hard to understand the concept of the film itself.I never thought i will write the following  comment on the film.

This film is again a failure as Order of Phoenix. As an Harry potter fan, i am very much disappointed with David Yates. Its just outrageous to know another Best Script ever is failed by the crew.

I don’t think its only me but the film goes very dull. The only best part of the movie is  Ron’s quidditch comedy. Man  i enjoyed the romantic scene between Ron and hermione and also Harry with Ginny 

Other than this, nothing count’s. I dont know what happened to Daniel!!! He didnt expressed his act well. During Dumbledore death scene he just acted like he was forced to act 

Many scenes were missing, i said earlier that the two consecutive scene’s were irrevelant. The scene where Harry tells ron and hermione about Horcrux  is not there, and so was the good bye scene before harry goes to the cave. It was also missing. But at the climax, Ron and hermione speak as though they know about horcrux!!!! I just recalled one scene. many scene’s in between were missing or irrevelant.

Michael Gambon and Tom Felton ( Draco Malfoy)  has really made Justice to their role. Their act was very much superb. Particularly Tom Felton, he played his role very well.

Finally i conclude saying ,Personally i cried after seeing this movie. Not upto my expectations.
