By Adnan Tezer Nov 24, 2009, 1:10 GMT

Summit Entertainment's "Twilight: New Moon" exploded over the weekend as it recorded the third best domestic opening weekend gross with $140.7 million.

The two films with better opening weekends were 2008's "The Dark Knight" ($158.4 million) and 2007's "Spider-Man 3" ($151.1 million).

Overseas, the film opened to $118.1 million for a worldwide opening total of $258.8 million.

According to Variety, Warner Bros.' Sandra Bullock sports drama "The Blind Side" was another surprise over the weekend as it came in No.2 with an opening of $34.5 million. That's the best opening of Bullock’s career, beating the $33.6 million opening of Disney's "The Proposal" earlier in June. The film is based on the real-life story of Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher.

Sony's "2012" came in No. 3 with $26.5 million for a cumulative of $108.2 million.

Sony's cartoon "Planet 51" opened with $12.6 million to come in No. 4.

"Disney’s A Christmas Carol" came in No.5 with $12.2 million for a cumulative of $79.8 million.
