Now this vampire thing finally got me interested. According to reports, the Twilight Saga: New Moon just raked in a whopping $72.7 million on its first day of release, surpassing the record previously held by the Dark Knight’s $67 million opening back in July of 2008. Compared to its prequel, New Moon clocked $3 million more than the gross of Twilight in its first week in cinemas!
MSNBC reported that in midnight screenings alone, New Moon already registered more than $26 million, making it number 1 on the all-time list of top box office grosses for that segment in domestic markets. This is notably higher than Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which made $22.2 million in midnight screenings in July this year.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon is based on Stephenie Meyer’s book of the same title. It continues the story of Bella (Kristen Stewart), a high school girl who has fallen in love with a vampire (Robert Pattinson) in the first part of the book, the Twilight. In New Moon, the story focuses on the love triangle between Bella, her vampire lover Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, the werewolf.
The movie opened in Philippine cinemas last Friday, November 20.

Thanks Boldy, I’m not really a big fan but the movie was too famous to be ignored. I watched it yesterday and I was surprised to realize that all the best scenes were actually shown in the trailers. If you’ve seen the trailers and read the book, you need not see the movie.
