Holy shit, het emo vampieren drama Twilight: Eclipse heeft op zijn openings dag qua opbrengsten The Dark Knight (2008) verslagen. Want de vonkenden vampieren incasseerde $68.5 miljoen dollars en een dode Joker $67.2 miljoen. Wat opvalt is dat The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) op zijn eerste dag $72.7 miljoen in het laadje bracht.

Summit Entertainment's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse earned an estimated $68.5 million its first day which is a new record for a Wednesday opening, surpassing previous record holder Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ($62 million). The third installment debuted in a record 4,416 theaters.
While the opening day is not as big as The Twilight Saga: New Moon's record of $72.7 million, if the estimate holds it would still be the second-best single day and opening day ever and would knock The Dark Knight ($67.2 million) to third.
