Chris Weitz's "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" has not yet officially kicked off its North American run in theatres, but the film is already scoring money and setting new records in several overseas markets.
Early numbers are in already, and the Hollywood Reporter says the sequel to "Twilight" has scored $1.6 million from midnight screenings in Australia. That's better than what "Star Wars: Episode III" bagged in '05.
Moving on, "New Moon" picked up $4.26 million in France on opening day, compared to $1.1 million earned by "Twilight." Wow! In Italy, it generated $2.7 million, and in Spain, it grabbed $2.2 million.
