New Moon beat The Dark Knight as the film grossed the best opening day ever.   The Batman movie held the record of $67.2 for opening day, but now the Twilight  sequel has the glory.  I don’t think the crowds are going to let up either. Come Sunday we will see some very high numbers and record breaking numbers.

Results:

1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
$ 72.7

2. The Blind Side
$ 10.9

3. 2012
$ 8.1

4. Precious
$ 3.5

5. Planet 51
$ 3.2

in the millions
