Twilight vs. James Bond Quantum of Solace (Opening Weekend)
My cousin Channy has told her brother Kevin, that Twilight will beat the opening numbers for the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. Here is what I know of so far.

Bond
Number of theatres showing film opening weekend - 5,900
Opening weekend gross - $70.4 million dollars
Percentage of ticket purchased in advance - 44%
Midnight Showings - Couldn't find info, but I am sure it wasn't 500.
Cost to make film - $200 million

Twilight
Number of theatres showing film opening weekend - 5,500
Opening weekend gross - ????
SOLD OUT Midnight Showings - 500 theatres
Percentage of ticket purchased in advance - 51%

Cost to make film - $37 million

So what needs to happen to make it so Twilight does do better than Bond? ALL the theaters need to sell out! Having 400 less theatres will hurt us, but I am going twice, maybe three times. If you are passionate about this, help us out and go as many times as you can! :)
