Eclipse is already breaking box office barriers, just hours before the highly-anticipated brawl between Edward and Jacob hits theaters nationwide! The third installment of the Twilight Saga has earned its first record, making Hollywood history!

So what prize has the film won early in the game?

Deadline Hollywood reports Eclipse is currently slated to open in 4,416 theaters across North America, making it the single widest domestic release in Hollywood history.
