**Updated at 1:30pm**

According to estimates ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ brought in $68.5 million (including the $30 million midnight showing figure)!!

While that doesn’t beat the massive $72 million that ‘New Moon’ brought in, this does set a new record for Wednesday openings, beating ‘Transformers 2′ $62 million opening day. ‘Eclipse’ has also broken the record for highest single Summer Day opening, ‘The Dark Knight’ held that title with $67.2 million.

So bar, Box Office experts are saying the ‘Eclipse’ is on track for a $180 million dollar opening 5 day weekend!!

Stay tuned for more updates!!

The Midnight totals are in for ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’!!

And that total is $30 million dollars!!

This beats the record of $26 million ‘New Moon’ set in November.

The IMAX numbers are in and ‘Eclipse’ also set a new record there.  The film grossed $1 million in midnight IMAX screening, beating out ‘Transformers 2′ record of $959,000!!

Stay tuned as more info comes in!!

**Slight Spoilers, You’ve Been Warned**

After 8 months of waiting, Eclipse finally hit theaters this morning.  I had the added advantage of being able to go to an advance screening prior to the midnight showing, so I saw it twice in less than 5 hours.  Which really helps when making up your mind on if you like a film or not!

I’m going preface this with saying that ‘Eclipse’ was my favorite book out of the series so I was expecting a lot out of David Slade and crew.  I’m also not guaranteeing that this will be 100% spoiler free, so read at your own risk.

Review is after the jump

Entertainment Weekly has just posted it’s review of ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’.

Along with THR and Variety, EW seems to be liking the latest Twilight Saga film giving it a grade of B+

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is like some broodingly repressed wide-screen youth-pop melodrama from the 1950s — and I mean that as a compliment. The story, at heart, is earnest and humorless teen romantic glop, but its feelings aren’t fake, and the movie is compulsively watchable; it has a passionflower intensity. In case you haven’t been keeping up, the plot — and the blood — have thickened a lot since the first Twilight film two years ago. In that initial, relatively uncomplicated chapter, the ever-so-mildly dark and alienated Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) fell for the dashing vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) because of his pasty-faced erotic appeal (sideburns, James Dean hair, golden eyes, eternal stricken look), but also because he offered himself up as the ultimate protector: swoony and chivalrous, a spangly-skinned knight of the woods who vowed to guard her innocence.
