ECLIPSE Teaser Poster Spotted. NEW MOON Breaks TDK’s Single Day Record

NEW MOON already broke the midnight opening record and now it has officially stolen the Single Day throne from The Dark Knight by earning $71 million on Friday at 4,024 theaters, last year Nolan’s great sequel earned $67.1 million. Wow, it took TDK three years to set that record but NEW MOON is only a year apart from its predecessor. I’m not a big Twilight franchise fan but even I’m quite impressed by these results… I still haven’t seen NEW MOON yet mainly because most of the showings in 5 of my local big chain theaters are sold out and it’s a bit awkward and uncomfortable watching it with a room full of tweens, I did that last year and the tween girls in the audience were screaming hysterically when Rob Pattinson showed up on screen and I wish I had some earplugs with me.

But I think it’s safe to say that NEW MOON will also break the opening weekend record, as painful as that sounds because we all know The Dark Knight will always be the better movie.

By the way, via comingsoon.net, the teaser poster for The Twilight Saga: ECLIPSE are already in theaters. The third installment will open nationwide on June 30th, 2010
