The Twilight sequel raked in $72.7 million yesterday, making it biggest opening day ever. New Moon earned $26 million in midnight showings alone, helping it trump the previous record of $67.2 million earned by Dark Knight. The feat is all the more remarkable because it's outside the usual summer blockbuster season, notes Variety. The movie has a chance to bust the record for biggest opening weekend: $158 million, set by Dark Knight.

Wow. I knew this movie would be big, but I didn't think it would be this BIG. I really thought that the Dark Knight would hold the opening day record for quite some time. Congrats to everyone who worked on the movie. This is an incredible accomplishment right here.
