• I don’t really care about the numbers, I want to see the book come to life on the big screen. 25 years old and this saga happens to be my favorite ever!

• Sorry Harold but Twilight is on it’s way to making far beyond 25 million, shoot they most likely made that in one day. As of 12:00pm 11/21 Twilight was on pace to making as much as the Dark Knight! Fandango reported they were selling 5 Twilight tickets every second!! It made it’s way to #3 on Fandgo’s all time best selling advanced ticket sales only behind The Dark Knight and Star Wars!!! It beat out Lord of the Rings and all the the Harry Potter movies! I thought the movie could of been better but ohh well I will most likely see it again anyways

• Twilight broke even from online tickets and tickets in advance before it even came out.

• I am not the sterotypical viewer of twilight,but, I really enjoyed it! Of course, my 13 year old daughter did love it as expected. we went to the opening night here & it was packed wih ALL AGES of viewers of both sexes.
  It had sold out here in 2 days! Which, was ovious from the hordes of people waiting 2 hours before it even began. Upon leaving the 7:00 showing, it was packed to the very back of the theatre. Yet again, ALL ages & sexes. I predict this movie will gross way beyond what was predicted. The second installment can’t be far behind!

• Both my 13 year old & I loved it! It is not a “fangirl” thing! It had sold out in 2 days here. The line was packed with all ages and sexes, at the 7:00 that we went to. Upon leaving the movie it was again packed with all ages & sexes. The second installment isn’t far away!

• I went to see it Friday at the 1:30pm showing and i am a guy i will have to agree with everyone that was many older ages there to me i think there were more above 30 there my grandmother seen the trailer for Twilight and wanted to go so she went with me and she liked it shes 66!!! now its only monday we still have a while along before we see all the money Twilight made i am just hoping nothing blocks Summit from continuing with the series i dont know why people is complaining about the special effects this is the first movie you cant throw all this money into a potential movie series without seeing how good it does on the first one then you have the stability of putting more money into making special effects look at harry potter series when they started they actually didnt have that great of special effects as what the next movie had and it all depended if they made enough money incase the movie did tank and loose all that money i wouldnt want to put all that money into special effects when you have no idea the profit you may or may not get

• I loved the book, loved the movie, casting did a good job, they were just how I imagined they would look like. I’m 32, and the movie appeals to all ages, not just the tween group, mind you. I read all four books and it was just superb. Move over jk Rowling!

• Not sure if you know your movies or not – However – Big Budget deos not describe Twilight. It is a very small budget file put out by Summit. Before you speak, perhaps you should do a bit of research. The books were all best sellers.

• I’m a girl 28 years old and I watched Twilight 2x on big screen, one premier night and a regular showing. It’s really amazing and irresistible! I’m not a fan of Twilight Saga before watching the movie but now I’m done reading the whole series in less than a week!!! The movie is great and the special effects are good despite the small budget, and it should not be compared to other top action movies because it’s not a whole action movie at all it’s a LOVE Story..!!!! Edward is gorgeous, fantastic and hot, Robert Pattinson is the best choice. My boyfriend, sister and cousin are now reading the book after watching the movie and we’re hunger for more. . . .and I think it’s a good way to go for the next movie to watch—New Moon…
