Sorry, couldn’t resist. It seems that we have the Blue Power Ranger to thank for bringing us Taylor Lautner. Last night on Letterman Taylor Lautner revealed:

Lopez Tonight: Peter Facinelli and Liz Reaser
July 2, 2010
George Lopez continues his Twilight Week with Peter Facinelli and Liz Reaser. He’s also continuing with his Twilight’s Got Talent feature. On a persoanl note, I’m really loving George’s coverage. It’s not all about him, it’s all about the guest and making that guest comfortable so they shine. It’s kind of old school Carson in a way, I’m at least loving it.

Eclipse Breaks Wednesday Release Record
July 1, 2010
According to Box Office Mojo Eclipse has set a Wednesday release sales record. Yesterday we covered the sales figures that covered midnight to 3:00am where Eclipse set a 30 million dollar sales record in that midnight release catergory. Now the figures reflect midnight through 11:59pm yesterday, June 30.
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse drained more of its opening day demand with its midnight opening than The Twilight Saga: New Moon did. Despite setting the midnight record with over $30 million, Eclipse’s full day came in at $68.5 million, falling short of New Moon’s $72.7 million record ($26.3 million of which from its midnight launch).
Playing on approximately 8,000 screens at an opening-record 4,416 locations, Eclipse still had a phenomenal debut, setting two other records. The vampire romance sequel boasted the largest Wednesday gross of all time, surpassing Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’s $62 million. It also logged the top-grossing summer day ever, surpassing The Dark Knight’s $67.2 million.
Overall, Eclipse posted the second highest-grossing single day of all time, behind only its predecessor. “
