When “New Moon,” the second film in the “Twlight Saga” series, premiered at midnight, it had already set records. According to EW.com, several online ticketing services reported selling more advance tickets than ever before, beating records previously set by monster box office films like “The Dark Knight,” “Harry Potter,” “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings.”

Accordingly, per GossipCop, the midnight grosses surpassed “Potter” and “Knight,” making “New Moon” the biggest midnight opening ever.

Tickets for the midnight showings began selling out early as September, with some theaters showing “Twilight” earlier in the evening  fans could watch the two flicks back-to-back.

Fans were as excited as ever while non-fans remained turned off:
