The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third installment in the uber-popular vampire series took in $30 million in midnight box office sales, setting a new record for a single overnight take.
The previous Twilight movie New Moon took in $26.3 million when it arrived in November 2009.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Twilight movies they basically surround a vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and a werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) who are fighting for the affection of a human Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and what ensues is a love triangle (sort of) and a battle over an old truce between the Cullens Vampire clan and the werewolves.
That synopsis is pretty bland, but the main thing to understand is that over 75% of the money raised last night from midnight showings probably came from Tween and Teen obsessed girls who are vying to see their boys in action as romances are revealed.
So what is it, Team Jacob or Team Edward?
