New Moon breaks record

In a bout of news that could very well push me over the suicide precipice, it appears NEW MOON has unsurprisingly broken the all time midnight screening record.

Yup, all the emo-tweens and super-suckers for glittery vampire melodrama have shelled out a whopping $26.27 million during 12 o’clock showings around the country (on 3,514 screens), besting the previous record holder HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE (which garnered $22.2 million, respectively).

Next on the dart-board is THE DARK NIGHT, which culled an astronomical $67 over an entire one day stretch. Can those rabid NEW MOON fans and prepubescent Pattinson acolytes do the deed (and supplant the KNIGHT)? We’ll have to wait and see.

For the record, I’ve never seen TWILIGHT or NEW MOON, never plan on it, and would even harbor serious reservations at the proposition of being paid to see them. Seriously.
