The new flick, which is the latest chapter in the Twilight saga, has beaten the 2005 movie Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith, according to online ticket agency Fandango.
It is claimed that New Moon has had 86 percent of the ticket sales this weekend. Thousands of tickets for the Thursday night midnight shows have already sold out across the US, and some cinemas are putting on extra screenings to cater for demand.

Fandango's chief operating officer Rick Butler said: "For many fans, it's clearly the year's most anticipated film event. Ever since tickets went on sale on 31 August, it's been among our top five weekly ticket-sellers, as New Moon has a strong pull on audiences.”
He added: "We're seeing a higher-than-than-usual number of tickets per transaction for this film, suggesting that moviegoers will show up en masse at theatres this weekend with their friends and family."
The first movie in the saga, Twilight, sold over $383.6 million in ticket sales worldwide and producers are hoping New Moon will exceed this.
