'New Moon' - Biggest Box Office Opening Day Ever!

Not only has New Moon dominated through its midnight showing numbers (it took in $26.3 million from midnight screenings alone), but Fandango reports that its release yesterday (November 20) was the biggest in box office history EVER! ...taking in $72.7 million and beating out, once again, The Dark Knight, which had grossed $67.2 million on its opening day.

Fandango comments: 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."

In case you're keeping track, New Moon is at the top with:

• $26.3 million from midnight screenings alone
  
• $67.2 million from its opening day.

I'm sure we'll be adding an astounding record number from opening weekend!
