It’s a sad day for us The Dark Knight fans. Or for those of us who just love movies in general.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has set a new opening day record of just over $72million.  That beats the previous record, held by our loved The Dark Knight by just over $5.6million.

New Moon has also set a new “single day” record, and a “single day – Friday” record, for its opening day.

Despite making a boatload of money, people don’t seem to be enjoying the latest “Twilight” movie.  As of now, Rotten Tomatoes’ current rating is 29%, and IMDb is only at a 4.4/10.

Have you seen New Moon? Is it as terrible as I’d guess it’d be?

The first poster for the Twilight sequel New Moon is available, and creepily displays the general plot of the movie.

Even in the supernatural world, boys fight over pretty girls.

In addition to having production start on the next movie in Twilight saga of films, we found out that Cameron Bright (who you may know from Running Scared, Ultraviolet or Birth) has been added to the cast.

Bright has been cast to play Alec, who is a “a high ranking and powerful Volturi member.”

I don’t have the faintest idea what that means, because I’ve never read the books (and have no intention on doing so.)  Christine just Netflix’d the Blu-ray of Twilight, which I’ve put off watching as much as possible since it got here. Maybe if I’m lucky, she’ll forget all about it, and I’ll never have to watch it.

Principal photography is reported to be underway. The film is set to open November 20th, just over 7 months from now.

As you may have read earlier this week, the director of Twilight was dropped, for reasons unknown.

The rumor is that Catherine Hardwick (Twilight‘s director) was a pain in the ass throughout filming, so the studio dropped her.

They announced late last night, that Chris Weitz (director of The Golden Compass) has been signed to direct the sequel to Twilight, New Moon.
