The Twilight Saga: New Moon is a 2009 American vampire themed teen movie based on Stephenie Meyer's 2006 novel New Moon. It is the second film in The Twilight Saga film series and is the sequel to 2008's Twilight, which is also based on Meyer's previous novel. Summit Entertainment greenlit the sequel in late November 2008, following the early success of Twilight. Directed by Chris Weitz, the film stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, reprising their roles as Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black, respectively.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released on November 20, 2009, in most countries, and set domestic box office records as the biggest midnight screening with $26.3 million, which was superceded by its sequel, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. This led to the biggest single day domestic gross with $72.7 million. The film also opened with the third biggest domestic opening weekend. The film was well received by fans, but critical reception was less favorable.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon has become the highest grossing film released by Summit Entertainment, and was also the film with the widest independent release, playing in over 4,124 theaters in its theatrical run, until it was surpassed by its sequel, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 20, 2010 through midnight release parties. The film has grossed, as of April 2010, $144,808,588 in North American DVD sales, selling more than 6,367,352 units, 4 million of which were sold within its first weekend, beating Twilight's 3.8 million units sold in its first two days.

The score for The Twilight Saga: New Moon was composed by Alexandre Desplat while the rest of the soundtrack was chosen by music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who also produced the Twilight soundtrack. The New Moon: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album was released on October 16, 2009 by Patsavas' Chop Shop label, in conjunction with Atlantic Records. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and climbed to number one a week later after selling 153,000 copies in its first full week of release.

The first promotional poster from The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released on May 19, 2009. On May 31, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner revealed the film's first trailer at the MTV Movie Awards. Following the release of the trailer, two scenes from the film were presented at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con.
