‘New Moon‘ broke the all of the records for the midnight screenings, even Harry Potter’s!!!
Summit Entertainment is reporting that the “Twilight” sequel opened on Thursday night to an unprecedented $26.3 million during its midnight screenings across the country. The film unspooled on 3,514 screens, playing at 12:01 a.m. for die-hard fans — many of whom arrived at the theaters dressed as their favorite characters.
That total handily beats the midnight-screening record of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” This seems to vindicate “Twilight” star Jackson Rathbone, who famously responded to our question of whether Stephenie Meyer’s franchise could take on J.K. Rowling’s juggernaut, “I don’t know; they’ve got brooms.”
In case you need further proof that “Twilight” is the new “Potter,” look no further than the recent news …
**OMG I’m SOOO HAPPY for all of the cast, director and author of the books!!! For more and more success!!! That’s just the opening night
