NEW YORK — “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” has set a box-office record for midnight screenings. Summit Entertainment estimated Friday that it earned $26.3 million after opening early in the morning.
That would topple the previous midnight record, held by “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” It earned $22.2 million this year. “The Dark Knight” from 2008 is third with $18.5 million.
“New Moon,” starring, below from left, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, is the second installment of the “Twilight” series. It opened at midnight in 3,514 theaters. The Associated Press
