NEW MOON does $26.3 million last night, defeats HARRY POTTER

As if there was any doubt that this would happen, its now official; THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is now the highest grossing midnight showing of all time. The previous record was held by this guy:

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE took the record from THE DARK KNIGHT with $22.2 million over the summer. After taking the pot with its $26.3 million NEW MOON is now settings its sights on the next record of $67.2 million in one day, which is currently held by THE DARK KNIGHT. I don’t know who we are all kidding, this record is as good as broken with the swarm of fans young and old going out to see it tonight. We will update you tomorrow and let you know its status.
