WE have tirelessly tracked, someone has to do it, the popularity of the vampire movies with the downturn in the economy. I suspect stocks topped this past week which makes the New Moon timing about perfect. Dan Glaser went with his daughter, I will have to ask his impressions.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon made history at the box office Friday, with midnight showings racking up $26.3 million in ticket sales, according to Variety.
The teen vampire sequel played in 3,514 theaters, according to the trade publication, and soared past the previous record-holder, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which earned $22.2 million with its midnight opening this summer.
Based on Stephenie Meyer’s popular teen vampire novels, the original Twilight movie has grossed $383 million worldwide since its release last year.
Summit Entertainment will follow up the PG-13 New Moon with a third movie, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, in 2010.
