SHOOT: Seems like this movie is breaking all time records. It will be crazy if it is the biggest movie ever [in terms of total earnings].
No. 1 on opening day after beating mark held by ‘The Dark Knight’
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" took in $72.7 million in its first day to break the single-day domestic box office record set by "The Dark Knight," which had a $67.2 million opening day last year.
The Friday haul for the "Twilight" sequel includes a record $26.3 million from midnight screenings alone.
If "New Moon" maintains its pace, it might have a shot at the all-time best opening weekend record of $158.4 million, also held by "The Dark Knight."
"New Moon" continues the story of teen romance between a girl and a vampire (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson), with the sequel adding a love triangle with a teen werewolf (Taylor Lautner).
Its $26.3 million for midnight screening places the film at No. 1 on the all-time list of top box office grosses for that segment in domestic markets, said Summit Entertainment, the independent studio behind the film.
