Published by CurrentHitz at 12:29 am under movie Edit This

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has raked in US$26.3mil (RM89.42mil) to set a new record for midnight openings at its North American box office Friday, industry reports said.

Entertainment industry sources said the highly-anticipated sequel beat Batman: The Dark Knight, which took US$18.4mil (RM62.56mil) in 2008, and even the sixth Harry Potter film.

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince earned US$22.2mil (RM75.48mil) earlier this year in midnight screenings.

If New Moon’s popularity continues, the film could set new records.

The Twilight movies are based on the books by Stephenie Meyer and are about the fortunes of high school teenager Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) and her vampire lover Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

The first Twilight film i opened in November 2008 and earned about US$383 million (RM1.3bil) worldwide.
