LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Matrix Reloaded," the movie produced by AOL Time Warner's Warner Bros. studio, raked in a record $42.5 million at domestic box offices in its first day, box office watchers said on Friday.

As far as records go, "Matrix Reloaded" -- which reteams Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss with a cast of new characters, including Harold Perrineau, Jada Pinkett Smith and Monica Bellucci -- is expected to beat the best R-rated opening, set by "Hannibal" in 2001 at $58 million; best opening-day gross, set last year by "Spider-Man" at $39.4 million in 3,615 locations; and possibly beat the biggest opening weekend, also set by "Spider-Man" at $114.8 million for three days in May 2002.
