It was a total Eclipse from the start.


The blockbuster third installment of The Twilight Saga opened to more than $30 million on its first night in North America.


It surpasses the previous midnight opening record holder, which was the second Twilight installment, New Moon, at $26.3 million.


It’s too early to know whether Eclipse will top New Moon’s (full) first day record of $72.7 million.


The movie also set a new IMAX record for midnight grosses with over $1 million from 192 theaters, beating Transformers 2’s $959,000.
