Box office record for New Moon

I'm going to take a leaf out of Bella's book. Holy Crow!

The statistics are in, and New Moon movie has set a new midnight box-office record of $26.27 million in the USA alone, I'm guessing. Midnight showings, mind you.

It has beaten The Dark Knight and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's takings on the midnight debut.

This is totally cool! I can only hope that Singapore can make this sort of impact. I'm contributing to the first-day takings, obviously.

In Australia, they took in AUS$1.7 million ($1.6 million) from midnight showings, also a record high since Star Wars 3. I'm not too sure about the Europeans' takings, but am sure they are going to be phenomenal.

It just makes the mind wonder what will be the first weekend earnings be like in the States.

I'm trying to stay spoiler-free this time round. All I know is that there are praises for Christ Weitz and critics don't like it. Ahh well, you can't please all of them.

Eeek, it just make everything seems so fun and exciting. I can't wait to see what my reaction will be. I've a feeling that I'm going to surprise myself.

No matter what, how bad can New Moon be when you compared it to the disastrous prequel?

No specific reviews for me. It is extremely tempting to just click the the links and read what fans have to say but I must resist in order to make things sweeter.
