Twilight

Rai, something terrible happened this past weekend. A new box office record was set. Twilight: New Moon, amassed the highest one-day box office total ever recorded!
I enjoy box office records, but this one is not one that I wanted to see beat. The previous highest one-day record was held by The Dark Knight, last summer's Batman sequel to Batman Begins. How could a teeny-bopper vampire picture beat a dramatic, heroic tale like The Dark Knight?
Still, by the end of the weekend, I was vindicated. Despite its incredible opening night, Twilight was unable to maintain its momentum throughout the weekend. The Dark Knight remains the best ever opening weekend! Just remember that, Rai. No one can beat Batman -- not even a bunch of vampires and werewolves!
