Non è che avessi dei dubbi

New Moon con le sue 699 sale ha sfracellato il box office italiano del weekend portandosi a casa più di 6 milioni e mezzo con una media per sala di 9.498 euro: altissima, ma in quel caso 2012 aveva fatto di meglio settimana scorsa.

Comunque l’incasso diventa di quasi 10 milioni, contando anche mercoledì e giovedì: e il film è già il quinto incasso della stagione dopo cinque giorni.

Almeno quello

Nonostante abbia battuto i record storici come miglior midnight opening di sempre e pure come miglior opening day, New Moon non è riuscito a battere The Dark Knight come miglior opening weekend.

La consolazione è magrissima.

xkcd: “Prudence”

“As you can see, “New Moon” is not for me. It seems like it should be. I’m a fan of supernatural stories. I was once a brooding teenager who dreamed of gothic romance. But I absolutely hate what Stephanie Meyer has done. She’s reversed everything that Joss Whedon did for female empowerment. She’s taken all the sex out of the sexy vampire. She’s boiled the “inner demons” metaphor down to nothing, and dressed it with a slightly condescending and bigoted sauce. If you liked the books and the first movie, you will probably love “New Moon.” It’s going to make a ton of money and Stephanie Meyer is going to continue to be lauded and rewarded. I know that there will always be bubblegum pop for tweens but this is so much worse than the Backstreet Boys. This is, to borrow a phrase from the source material, a lion in lambskin. It’s intellectually and socially detrimental to both literature and cinema, simultaneously. The fact that so many girls will see this movie and drink up the messages like poisoned Kool-Aid depresses the hell out of me. But there’s nothing I can do about it. You’ve already picked your team.” — Jessica Baxter, Film Threat

“Every fifth or sixth word in my notes on The Twilight Saga: New Moon is ‘mope’. If there’s a more listless, disengaged piece of film this year I hope I don’t have to suffer it. (Actually, there is, and I did right after writing this. The guys’ flipside to New Moon: Ninja Assassin.) This second Twilight film is not a dreamy, thorny gothic romance; it is a stereotypical, unimaginative caricature of depressed teens expanded into 120 minutes. By comparison, Catherine Hardwicke’s creaky first film looks like a wise and knowing glimpse into youthful distraction and obsession.” — Russ Fischer, /Film
