The reign of The Dark Knight is over: The Twilight Saga: New Moon is now officially the movie with the most successful opening day of all time, easily beating Batman's 2008 record. But what about the opening weekend total?

The movie's final opening day gross was $72.7 million, which included a second record of $26.3 million for the movie's 12:01 Friday showings alone. The Friday take not only sailed past the Dark Knight's previous record of $67.2 million, but was more than double the original Twilight's debut of $36 million.

Did anyone see it? What did you think? I love Roger Ebert's review.

It was pretty bad. I will admit New Moon was my least favorite book but I thought I would get some enjoyment out of the film for the special effects. Despite some moments I thought were visually cool it pretty much left me cold. No pun intended.

It is pretty sad to see that those type of movies are the most successful.

I have not seen twilight, read twilight and I don't care about twilight. I went to go see Pirate Radio a day or two after twilight came out and to my surprise saw a table set up with twilight merchandise in the theater. I don't think I've ever seen that before in a theater. I guess whatever will make the tweens drop their cash works.
