NEW MOON dethrones THE DARK KNIGHT

That’s right boys and girls, we now live in a world where the above film does more business than this:

NEW MOON has officially taken down THE DARK KNIGHT as the biggest opening day in the history of cinema. $72.2 million is the new mark to beat, which is up from the previous $67.2 million set just last year. I guess that gives the third installment of the Christopher Nolan directed franchise something to aim for.
