Eclipse Breaks Box Office Records

Last night/this morning, North American fans of the Twilight Saga proved that, like the Cullens, they don't need sleep, ever. Well, at least not when there's a new Twilight movie premiering.

At 12:01 am, thousands of Twilight fans (some who had been in line for as long as 11 hours!) were rewarded with the third installment of the Twilight series and they shattered box office records in appreciation.



The blockbuster third installment of The Twilight Saga opened to more than $30 million on its first night in North America.

It surpasses the previous midnight opening record holder, which was the second Twilight installment, New Moon, at $26.3 million.

The movie also set a new IMAX record for midnight grosses with over $1 million from 192 theaters.
