Jodelle Ferland as Bree, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse grossed $7.93m on Thursday, topping the North American box-office chart for the ninth consecutive day and crossing the $200m mark domestically, according to Box Office Mojo.
Directed by David Slade, written by Melissa Rosenberg (from Stephenie Meyer’s novel), starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, and featuring Bryce Dallas Howard, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Xavier Samuel, Dakota Fanning, and Peter Facinelli, among others, Eclipse’s nine-day total currently stands at $203.66m.
Eclipse is currently on the number 10 spot among the fastest movies to reach $200m on the Box Office Mojo chart (not adjusted for inflation). This year, only Toy Story 3 is ahead on the chart, having crossed the $200m milestone with $208m on Day 9.
If inflation were taken into account, Eclipse would be down one spot at no. 11, following the 2002 release Spider-Man (with $202m on Day 9).
Chris Weitz’s The Twilight Saga: New Moon, released in Nov. ’09, crossed the $200m mark with $205m on Day 8. New Moon is on the list’s no. 4 spot.
Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, and Iron Men 2 crossed the $200m mark only on Day 10 (which included two weekends). All three movies — and Toy Story 3 — have gone on to gross more than $300m domestically. (Avatar, of course, has taken in more than $700m.)
The top three movies on the list are The Dark Knight, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
The other movies that crossed the $200m mark on Day 9 are Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

Great Movie!! By far the best. There are some parts I would have liked to see; however, that would have added another hour to the movie. I would have liked to see the class room scene with the note passing about escaping from the airplain, and Bella breaking down after seeing Jacob after his injury and Edward staying with her throughout the night, and Bella having the conversation with Alice about the wedding. Those would have been great to see in this movie; but nevertheless, GREAT Movie. Can’t wait to see Breaking Dawn. With the increased budget and the fact that they are breaking the movie into two parts(Thank God)they should be able to stay more inline with the book. Each movie has been getting increasing better!
also the actors and actresses really seem to pull through completely in these series of movies maybe you could come up with another series of movies he could act together in,they;ve got good mojo together. really awesome movies. wish i could meet them all.
i love the comment “doesent he own a shirt?” that one is so cool. make more movies with these actors they seem to fit tgether like a fancy pair of gloves,dont let it end this way so soon mrs. myers!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been to Eclipse 4 times and plan to go every week till it’s no longer showing….or my heart stops beating…Loved the movie – the tent and propasal scenes were the best. Great Job by all. The new Victoria was amazing and the growls and wolves were fantastic. Well Done!! Dig Twilight Forever! I’m busy matching the coundtrak with the scenes like I have done for the other 2 movies and it really makes me smile!
I have seen Eclipse 2ce now and although I do like the movie better than the 1st 2 because it is more action oriented, I was a bit disappointed at the discrepancies from the book. The character makeup keeps getting more eery as we go, so that a normal high school person looking at a Cullen can’t possibly think that is just wierd contacts. Too pale, even for Forks. And the lipstick. Um, let’s get back to trying to fit in. That is not unusual for the movies to be different from the books, however, the fact that Jasper appears in high school with everyone at the table, while he and Rosalie are supposed to be twins and already graduated (in the 3rd book)…that’s a major oops. Anyway, in all I still liked Eclipse, but I am really hoping they take full advantage of making Breaking Dawn into 2 movies and telling the great finale properly. Maybe the new director will get this one even better.
