LOS ANGELES — Once upon a time, a little film called "Twilight" was scheduled to come out within a few weeks of a "Harry Potter" movie, and Hollywood prognosticators found it absurd to suggest that the vampire series posed any sort of box-office threat. Months after that, buzz on the red carpet at the "Twilight" premiere was that the film could open with a weekend between $40 or $50 million — it ended up with $69.6 million.
Now, it's a year later and "New Moon" has become the biggest advance-ticket seller in Fandango history. So, we took the obvious question to the film's stars at Monday's (November 16) red-carpet premiere: How big will this weekend's "New Moon" opening be?
"We have a bet about that," revealed Chaske Spencer, who plays wolf pack member Sam Uley in the sequel, divulging that the shirtless stars have a friendly wager going on. "There's a guy — a member of the wolf pack, I can't tell you who — but we have a bet, and the loser buys dinner. I think it's going to gross triple [what the first film made]. And I think somebody's going to be buying me some dinner."
