‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ is The Highest Opening-Day Gross based on The Guinness World Records

The Twilight Saga: New Moon is still making headlines. This time around, the film has scored a spot in the 2011 edition of The Guinness World Records book for having the highest opening day gross – ever.

" Guinness also awarded The Twilight Saga: New Moon the title of Highest Opening-Day Gross. It earned $72.7 million on its first day, beating previous record holder The Dark Knight "

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has become a part of Guinness World Records 2011 for its successes in the box office.

Reports MTV, "'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' earned a place in the book for having the Highest Opening-Day Gross, $72.7 million, beating previous record holder, 'The Dark Knight.'"

The Twilight Saga: New Moon also has number one opening day and single day gross totals.

Each year, the Guinness World Records book chronicles the biggest, smallest, longest, and shortest records associated with nearly every conceivable aspect of the world, but being placed in the text is a very coveted feat, so it's a pretty big deal that New Moon made this year's cut.

The Guinness World Records book was released on Tuesday, September 14th.

Last year, both Twilight and its director, Catherine Hardwicke, were placed in the 2010 edition for "Highest-Grossing Movie by a Female Director."

Twilight 'New Moon' Volturi Charlie Bewley Interview

Self magazine hangs out with one of the Volturi vampire Demetri played by British actor Charlie Bewley and digs in five fun facts about him.

1. He made up a whole backstory for his Twilight character, Demetri. Here goes: "Demetri lived near Mt. Vesuvius before it erupted--when it did, it killed his family, but he was so fast, he was able to outrun the lava. He ended up in the foothills, where he was enslaved. But he kept running away from his masters, and ended up in Rome, where he became a gladiator. He had no fighting skills, instead, he just ran away from his opponents. Eventually he was blind-sided by an arrow and he went down. Then Volturi leader Aro came in, recognized his skills, and turned him into a vampire--he's been serving the vampire guard ever since." Now, does that have the makings of the next Stephenie Meyer novel or what?

2. He has "everything envy". "It's why I became an actor," he told us. "I can be anything!" Two things he's green-eyed over right now: New York (he lives in L.A., but plans to move to the city at the end of the year) and whoever's auditioning for the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean.

3. His drink of choice is rum. For the moment, Captain Morgans Silver Spiced run. "On the rocks?" we asked. Bewley's reply: "If there are rocks around."

4. He actually tries to make his hair look like that. It's an artistic creation, complete with tusks (the little pieces in front of his ears) and horns (they're somewhere near his neck, apparently). So how exactly does he sculpt his locks to architectural perfection? "I blow dry it a bit, then use this crap pot of wax I got for $1.95--sport wax."

5. His favorite movie is Fight Club. "It has everything a movie needs to be great," he explained. His runners-up: Shawshank Redemption and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
