According to reports in the film industry press, you have given Revenge of the Sith the strongest box-office opening ever for (the admittedly recent phenomenon of) a midnight showing.
Box Office Mojo
Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith drew an estimated $16.5 million from midnight showings alone on its opening day, according to 20th Century Fox. The early figure stands as the biggest midnight launch on record.
According to this report, AOTC earned $6.4 million during its midnight opening. Previous best appears to have been
Return of the King with $8 million.

While on the topic of records (box-office or otherwise):
I have a rule:
if a record cannot be described in 10 words or less, then it is not a record.
The above example "biggest midnight opening" is three words -- no problem.
"Biggest second-day box-office for an Adam Sandler drama in October" is 12. That's not a record... I'm sorry.
