'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' ticket sales have broken the record for highest grossing midnight screenings previously held by 'New Moon', according to media reports Thursday.

According to Summit Entertainment, 'Eclipse' took in more than $30 million from midnight screenings on Wednesday(June 30), with final box office numbers to be determined once the studio finishes its final count.

The previous record for midnight screening ticket sales of $26.3 million was set by the last "Twilight" movie, "New Moon," in November 2009.

The $30 million haul from Wednesday morning includes more than $1 million in IMAX screenings, which surpassed $959,000 of“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”

With a record amount of money already in hand, the question now for Summit is whether "Eclipse" will be a bigger hit than "New Moon" or if it will end up with a similar total domestic gross of about $300 million.
