Twilight Saga: New Moon became the highest-grossing in the history of Spain

The Twilight Saga's second installment may satisfy hardcore fans of the series, but outsiders are likely to be turned off by its slow pace, relentlessly downcast tone, and excessive length.

New Moon took over 10 million euros at the box office on its first weekend. The film New Moon, based on the blockbuster trilogy by Stephanie Meyers, attracted over 1.6 million viewers in three days, exceeding the success of its first instalment by 150%.

The chaste romance between the otherworldly vampire played by teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson and amorous teenager, Kristen Stewart has not only lured Spain movie goers, but has grossed $ 140 million (93.5 million) in U.S. and $ 260 million (173.5 million) worldwide.

Until now, another multibillion-dollar franchise, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" from Walt Disney, had been the most successful in Spain with 9.6 million, followed by another adaptation of a best seller, The Da Vinci Code, with 8.8 million.
