UPDATE TUESDAY, AUGUST 10:

Box office numbers are in for Monday, August 9. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has moved back into the top 10, taking in another $389,276 from 1,704 locations for a per theater average of $228 representing a decrease of 41.6% from Sunday. This gives the film a cumulative domestic total of $293,491,146 after 41 days in release. Adding in overseas returns of $372.8M gives Eclipse a current worldwide total of $666,291,146.

This moves the film up from #13 to #10 behind The Other Guys, which drops 49.8% from Sunday but stays on top with $4,979,332 at 3,651 locations for a per theater average of $1,364, Inception, with $2,531,134 at 3,418 locations for a per theater average of $741 and a domestic cumulative total of $230,168,703 after 25 days in release, Step Up 3-D with $2,015,167, Dinner for Schmucks with $1,586,385, Despicable Me with $1,467,590, Salt with $1,371,236, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore with $1,056,046, Charlie St. Cloud with $831,125, and Toy Story 3 with $537,274.

For those comparing the films in The Twilight Saga, at this point in its release history (after 41 days) New Moon had taken in $283,870,180. Eclipse is now at $293,491,146. Both films hit the $250M mark on the 16th day. The total domestic gross for New Moon was $296,623,634. Eclipse only needs about $3.13M to break that. It should happen by the end of the week. That would put the film within striking distance of the elusive $300M mark, which it may pass by the end of next weekend.
