New Moon had the 3rd biggest opening weekend ever (behind The Dark Knight and Spiderman 3). Too bad Obama didn't seize control of the Twilight books instead of GM, all the banks, and the healthcare system. Maybe we could start paying off the national debt. Precious is becoming the indie hit of the season as it continues to add screens.
