“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is already setting records. The film was released to 4,416 theaters, marking the widest domestic release in box-office history. That number beats the previous record of 4,380 theaters set less than two months ago by “Iron Man 2.” “Eclipse” took in more than $30 million from midnight screenings yesterday, surpassing the previous record of $26.3 million set on opening day last November by its predecessor, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” The huge start puts the movie on track for the biggest opening day ever. “New Moon” currently holds that record, taking in $72.7 million on its first day of release. The record five-day haul for a movie opening on Wednesday is $200 million, set last year by “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”
