Collider» - Collider.com —
... According to Deadline, early estimates for the 3,514 North American New Moon theatres put the film’s midnight total alone at over $23 million and perhaps as high as $24 million. If accurate this means that The Dark Knight opening day record of $67.1 million is in danger of succumbing to Twilight mania. We all knew it would be huge, but huge enough to beat The Dark Knight? That’s a horse of another color. A huge horse. We’ll keep you posted on this story as firmer numbers begin to surface. ...

New Moon’s Record-Breaking Opening Day
Screen Rant —
... With the expected (and now realized) opening success of New Moon, I am surprised that in my screening of the movie, there were no trailers for other major upcoming films – What we saw instead was all just for upcoming movies from Summit and E1 Entertainment and no other studios took advantage of the masses of eager moviegoers sitting in packed theaters everywhere.
Here are the numbers reported from Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood as of this morning:

New Moon Has Best Opening Day Of All Time

Projections at Deadline Hollywood now have New Moon making $125 million over the weekend, which, fanboys will be relieved to hear, won't be enough to topple The Dark Knight 's record of $158.4 million. But don't be surprised if Breaking Dawn pulls it off next ...

With Universal's Wolfman on the horizon, another project that might benefit from this new trend ...
