With New Moon grossing a staggering $26.3 million just in midnight screenings in 3,514 theaters, you could only imagine that Eclipse would be even bigger, and it is!
Eclipse made over $30 million just in midnight sales at over 4,000 screenings of the movie in North America alone!
While New Moon is the all-time top grossing movie in a single-day with $72.7 million, people are starting to wonder if Eclipse can possibly beat the previous record. Maybe! Although it’s off to a great start it’s not expected to surpass New Moon‘s $142.8 million opening weekend.
The movie also made a record $1 million in IMAX showing, beating out the previous record holder, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, impressive!
