Box Office Battle of the Werewolves…New Moon vs. The Wolfman
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).
