“Obviously, with the success of `Twilight’ itself, sequels being what they are will generate X-number of dollars more, particularly if it’s a satisfying sequel,” said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Summit.

‘New Moon’ has been placed in 3^rd place of the all-time domestic chart in the USA, behind the Batman blockbuster of ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘Spiderman 3’. New Moon is the only film to date that has come outside of Hollywood’s busiest time, the summer season to hit the top 10 all time openings. However, Twilight New Moon did in fact break the USA’s opening day high previously set by Dark Knight with a staggering £43.7m taken.

Females make up 80 percent of the audience for “New Moon” making Meyer’s books a phenomenon among women and girls. However, young males are the backbone of Hollywood business, so “to have two movies with huge appeal for women result in the second-biggest non-holiday weekend ever is amazing,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com.

BUT REMEMBER YOUR FANCY DRESS OUTFIT!

Two thugs who attacked what they thought were a pair of
transvestites picked on the wrong men – when their intended victims
turned out to be cage fighters on a night out in fancy dress.

But the other cage fighter, wearing a sparkling black dress and
matching long wig, sprang to his friend’s help, delivering two
lightning-quick punches to the two stunned yobs.

The
cage fighters were then seen teetering away in their high heels,
stopping only to pick up a clutch bag they dropped during the melee.

Gardener and Fender were left dazed and seen staggering to their feet after their failed attack.

CCTV cameras followed the pair as they weaved along The Kingsway in Swansea, South Wales, before being arrested by police.

Mark Davies, defending, said: ‘You know it cannot have been a good night when you get into a fight with two cross-dressing men.

‘Unfortunately they were extremely drunk.

‘They had been out drinking jugs of cocktails and Fender had drunk at least 10 pints of cider.’

Police later discovered the two drag queens were cage fighters on a fancy dress stag night out with other friends.

Both Gardener and Fender, from Bonymaen, Swansea, pleaded guilty to using abusive words and behaviour.

CCTV
footage of the attacks was shown at Swansea Magistrates’ Court. It
shows them fighting with several men before the approach the two cage
fighters.

The pair were sentenced to a four-month community
order, were electronically tagged and placed under a curfew between 7pm
to 7am.
