We’ve had two Werewolve themed movies open in the last 3/4 months, ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ and ‘Wolfman’.

So which one did better, well that would be ‘New Moon’.

Here is the breakdown.

New Moon opened on 11/20/09 with a $50mil budget and grossed a 3 day opening total of $142.8 million, and grossing in total (so far) $295.5 million domesticity and $706.1 million worldwide.

‘Wolfman’ which opened on 2/12/10 with a $150 million budget and grossed a 3 day opening total of $31.4 million dollars, to date grossing only $50.3 million domestic and $97 million worldwide (funny enough ‘Valentine’s Day’ took #1, meaning the scheme of things, ‘The Wolfman’ was again beat by a Taylor Lautner film).

If you total all the Werewolf moves since 1980, BoxOfficeMojo.com put ‘The Wolfman’ at #5 and ‘New Moon’ at #1 with both ‘Underworld’ movies and ‘Wolf’ filling in spots 2-4.

So once again, low budget, no A-list cast (at the time), “Teenaged” targeted movie beats out the high budget, super star cast (Sir Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt).

The Ultimate Fan Edition New Moon DVD is now available for pre-order at Wal-Mart.com

Here are the details:

“This Ultimate Fan Edition with collectible Lenticular Packaging includes a 7-minute sneak peek of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” which begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes look at the production of the newest film in the franchise. New interviews with stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, as well as with series-creator Stephenie Meyer are integrated with revealing, on-the-set footage of some of the key scenes and sets from the upcoming movie. This first-look at “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” then concludes with the world premiere of an actual scene from the film between Bella and Edward”

The DVD is retailing for $24.96 and the Blue-Ray is $29.96.

The DVD will be release on 3/20/10.

Okay, as much as we all love Summit Entertainment, when it comes to New Moon DVD, there are just way too many choices.

From the normal single disc edition to the newly announced Wal-Mart Ultimate Fan Edition with Eclipse Footage.

In total there are about 6 different versions of the DVD in total, All features different extras.

Our friends over at Twilight Series Theories has done the hard work for us and compiled all the details of each DVD in one easy to read post (thanks for that )

So far it seems like the Wal-Mart, Target, and Borders editions are the best, HOWEVER since each one seems to come with different extras you will either have to pick which one is more important …or if your like me buy them all!

Happy DVD Shopping
