SPIDERMAN
Spiderman in 2002.
Gone with the Wind. In 1939, "Gone with the Wind" made $945,000 it's first weekend. Even though it was released in 1939, those were advanced ticket road show events. It was not put into wide release until 1941. I believe "Spider-Man" (2002) was the first to gross $100 million on opening weekend.
The Avengers movie reached around 200 million dollars on opening weekend in the US alone. This was a big deal as it beat the previous record of sales.
The reign of The Dark Knight is over: The Twilight Saga: New Moon is now officially the movie with the most successful opening day of all time, easily beating Batman's 2008 record. But what about the opening weekend total?The movie's final opening day gross was $72.7 million, which included a second record of $26.3 million for the movie's 12:01 Friday showings alone. The Friday take not only sailed past the Dark Knight's previous record of $67.2 million, but was more than double the original Twilight's debut of $36 million.Right now, estimates for the movie's weekend haul are somewhere in the region of $125-130 million, which will leave one Dark Knight record intact (It made $158.4 million in its first weekend). But that doesn't mean that estimates could be wildly underestimating the appeal of shirtless, hairless supernatural teenagers. After all, the original weekend estimate was around $85 million... I'd say it wass pretty successful ;)
The movie Watchmen made over $55 million opening weekend. Even though it was predicted to do make more money.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone made $90.3 million during opening weekend. It held the record for the highest-opening weekend until it was beaten by Spider-Man the following May.
A total amount for the first week is unknown. The movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone $90.3 million during opening weekend in the US and went on to be the most popular movie for three weeks. In total it earned $974.8 million worldwide.
In the United States Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone made $32.3 million on the first day. In the United Kingdom it made £16.3 million with previews during the first weekend.
Simply because the first one grossed only $46 million in the US.
in it's opening weekend it made 21 million dollars
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" whisked its way to No. 1 at movie box offices with weekend ticket sales of $77.4 million and a five-day total of just over $140 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
