Summit has announced that The Twilight Saga: New Moon has officially set a new all-time midnight box office record, taking in $26.27M from 3514 theaters.

This shatters The Dark Knight’s $18.4M midnight debut for a 3-day weekend. It also easily surpasses the all-time record for midnight showings which was held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which took in $22.2M on a Tuesday night on its way to a 5-day weekend total of $158M. The Dark Knight went on to take in $67.17M that opening day, dropped 29.1% from Friday to Saturday to bring in another $47.65M, and ended with $43.6M on Sunday for an opening weekend total of $158.4M.

“Prior to ‘Twilight,’ my favorite books were by Anthony Burgess and Ayn Rand,” says Jenny West, 32. “I bought ‘Twilight’ [the book] with the full intention of ripping it apart.” Then she read it. In one night. Bought “New Moon” the next day. “I was kind of horrified with myself, and I had to keep going.” When she finished the last book, she reopened the first one and started again.

“I noticed in that first week of reading that I was feeling things I hadn’t been able to feel in a long time,” says Lauren Ashlock, 27. She’d avoided the “Twilight” series ever since the 2005 release of the first book, because when she saw the passion of so-called TwiHards, she thought, Wackos.

The Washington Post has an article examining the conflict of adult Twilight fans, who may have come to love the series a bit reluctantly. The article is a good read, especially for anyone not completely out and proud in their Twilight Love. And I think echos what many of our readers may feel as well.

I particularly liked this part:

Men feel perfectly comfortable slathering their chests in greasepaint and screaming like half-naked ninnies at football games, but women too often over-explain their passions, apologizing for being too girly or liking something too trashy.

The grown women of “Twilight” will no longer apologize. They will go to those midnight “New Moon” screenings.

But as for telling them how silly they’re being, how Edward is not real and neither is Jacob, how their brains are rotting and their sense of reality is being distorted and this obsession is crazy, just crazy? There’s really no need.

They already know.

And we don’t care.

Here’s the first part of the interview-

See the entire interview here.

ABC World News Tonight takes a look at the non-tween (that’s us! ) demographic that loves the Twilight Saga. This interview features 3 of our TwilightMOMS- Melissa, Sarah & Charlotte.

But what you may not realize is that some of the most fanatical Twi-hards are their mothers.

“We don’t act like teenagers. I mean, we are still moms, we’re still adults,” said Melissa Peterson, 42.

Peterson is one of more than 30,000 members of a group called Twilight Moms who don’t just enjoy the story. They travel around the country for Twilight Moms.

By now it’s the stuff of legend, as much a part of “Twilight” history as Stephenie Meyer’s dream, Catherine Hardwicke’s bed or Taylor Lautner’s workout bench. Incoming director Chris Weitz asserted himself on the “New Moon” set by greeting each of the returning actors with a 20-page “orientation guide,” explaining what would be different from Catherine Hardwicke’s “Twilight” experience. Robert Pattinson read it; so did Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner — and soon, so can you.

“I’ve been thinking about it, and I’ve decided not to do it,” he said of publishing the book. “Instead, I think I will eventually give the orientation book to the fans — if it’s OK with Summit — for free.”

Keep in mind that nothing is official with regards to this yet. But isn’t it great to know that they’ve already discussed plans to get the guide into the fans’ hands? Twenty pages is like the Twilight Director’s Notebook on overdrive.
