The Twi-Hards were out in force as The Twilight Saga: New Moon opened at 12:01 am Friday at 3,514 theaters.  New Moon grossed an amazing $26.27 million from those midnight showings, shattering the previous record set by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which brought in $22.2 million at midnight shows last June.  The Dark Knight, whose full opening day record of $67.2 million could be in danger, earned $18.2 million from witching hour shows at some 3,040 theaters.

30 Days of Night: Dark Days, the direct-to-DVD sequel to the 2007 30 Days of Night, is currently filming in Canada.
