New Moon sets New Midnight Release Record

It will be no surprise when Twilight Saga’s New Moon will be #1 at the Boxoffice this weekend already setting records in Fanadango online ticket pre-order sales, but early reports are now saying that a new Midnight Release record has been set, toppling the previous record held by Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince earlier this year.

LA Times reports:

Two people close to the picture said the exact gross, which is still being calculated by Summit Entertainment, could be as high as $26 million.

Update (10:45 AM): Summit’s official estimate for midnight ticket sales is $26.27 million. Its official estimate for the gross of the original “Twilight” last night is $1.3 million.

The craze seems to have blossomed since the first film came out, enforcing that even though Twilight novels were already a hit, that the feature film put it on the map dragging in droves of new fans. Fans apparently eager to catch the new installment of the insanely popular franchise.

Reveiws are rolling in positive for the movie, and I expect there will be records set this weekend.
