"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has broken the record for opening in the greatest number of cinemas and taking in the most money from midnight screenings. The Robert Pattinson movie opened in 4,416 theatres across the US on June 30, beating the previous record of 4,380 cinemas set by Iron Man 2 in April. The film also made more than $30 million (\u00C2\u00A320.1 million) in midnight screenings on the same day, according to the film&amp;#039;s distributor, Summit Entertainment. This beat the previous record set by the franchise&amp;#039;s predecessor, New Moon, which took in $26.3 million from midnight showings upon its release in November. New Moon also holds the record for the highest-grossing opening day of any film at $72.7 million. Twilight actress Bryce Dallas Howard recently praised the film&amp;#039;s passionate fans.
