"BREAKING NEWS! FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Summit Entertainment just announced its New Moon debuted with $26.27M in 12:01AM screenings from 3,514 theaters. That sets a new midnight opening record, smashing The Dark Knight's $18.4M on July 18, 2008, and Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince's $22.2M on July 15, 2009.

It is Hova's first chart topper as lead vocalist although he has three assists to his name with "Heartbreaker" by Mariah, "Crazy In Love" with wifey Beyonce, and "Umbrella" with Rihanna. He also earns the Hot 100 Airplay crown this week with huge gains.

Weekend Box Office (13-15 Nov 09): '2012' Destroys The Rest, 'Precious' Booms

Position: 1. Last Week: -.
2012
Gross: $65.2M. Total Gross: $65.2M.
Change: -. Weeks: 1.

End-of-world flick “2012” ripped into the top spot, opening to the seventh best opening weekend of 2009 and the second highest for a disaster-themed film. The Roland Emmerich special effects movie also mesmerized worldwide with a huge $225M debut, one of the largest ever starts. “2012” did well to stay strong over the three days, actually seeing a slight gain on Saturday, a good sign for a blockbuster event picture. Thanksgiving should produce solid grosses and help it to inch closer to the film’s massive production budget of $200M. As far as our predictions were concerned, we were dead on with $67M. Score one for ER.
