Sandra Bullock Trumps Pattinson

The Blind Side showed bigger sales figures than "New Moon" on Thanksgiving.

New Moon is facing competition going into this weekend's box office numbers competition.

On Thanksgiving, a day known to sports fans for its great football, more moviegoers chose to see a football drama than a vampire and werewolf extravaganza.

Sandra Bullock's "The Blind Side" brought in $9.5 million in sales on turkey day, according to The Hollywood Reporter, while "New Moon" attracted a slightly smaller audience and earned $9.2 million.

As far as weekly sales go, Pattinson and Lautner have still inspired far higher numbers than the football players. After seven days, "New Moon" grossed $188.4 million in sales compared to "The Blind Side" with $60 million.

New movies released on Wednesday all stayed relatively close in terms of box-office numbers on Thanksgiving. "Ninja Assassin" came out on top with $4.6 million, but Disney's "Old Dogs" was close behind with $4.2 million.

Sony's end-of-the-world sci-fi movie, "2012," which has now been in theaters for three weeks, held close to the newbies with $4.1 million.
