Nov 21st, 2009
Movie opens to $72.7 million on Friday
After setting a new record for midnight openings with $26.27 million at 3,514 theaters, Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: New Moon has also broken the record for a single day, earning $72.7 million on Friday at 4,024 theaters. The previous single day record of $67.2 million was held by The Dark Knight.

It looks like The Dark Knight's 3-day record of $158 million may be in jeopardy now as well.

That's too bad. I was so happy a superhero film had the top spot on some records, and clearly the twilight d-bags are not super heroes. They are hardly even vampires!!!

It's sad that a really good in The Dark Knight got beat by a movie where people just jumped on the bandwagon to be with the in crowd. VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE!

Seriously? Fucking glowing vampires. And presumably werewolves that turn into dolphins or something. What the fuck is wrong with everybody? Twilight is literally worse than Hitler. What does it say about our society when this bull shit movie, based of bull shit books, is toping a cinematic masterpiece? Dark Knight transcended genres. Now we have this garbage film where only girls that were into the stupid book, or think that Edward is hot, rush out to see this dreck. Just because someone is attractive, you don't see their shitty movies. Throw your hard earned dollars down on something I like to call quality. If you wanna be turned on, watch a fucking porn. Or, just keep going to see this movie, and Hollywood will keep making crap like this.
