...Moon madness began with a thunderclap: it earned $26.2 million just in its midnight-Thursday shows. This was another new record, and it exceeded the entire weekend gross of five of the No. 1 pictures of autumn: Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (in its second frame in the top slot), Michael Jackson's This Is It, Paranormal Activity and the horror comedy Zombieland.

While it is Homme’s influence that dominates the record, what really sticks in the mind is how brilliant an idea TCV is, and how all three members—and their fans—would benefit from them making more records very much like this...
