Let me just say how sorry I am this happened. I honestly didn't think it would make all this money when I went to see it Friday night. I honestly thought it would be a flop like HSM3.
-
I have never even heard of this shit untill last week.

Seriously. There's a whole book line and shit. Guess this is gonna be the next Harry Potter or some shit, only pandering to the average "goth" kid traipsing inside your local Hot Topic.

HSM3 only cost 11 mil and has made over 200 million worldwide. I don't think Disney see's that as a flop
-
It's a shame teenage girls are so nubile, because they really have shitty, shitty taste in just about everything.
-
It might even beat TDK.
:usacry

Bitches
-
dude, Green Man, HSM3 is not a flop, HSM3 is one of the most profitable movies of all time.
and what rock have you guys been living under where you haven't heard of Twilight? I guess you haven't been to a bookstore in two years or something
-
How is this different than True Blood? Or Interview with a Vampire? Male lead is always a reluctant vampire who does his best not to hurt humans, while trying to protect a female.
And I doubt any of these dudes are as hot as Brad Pitt.
-
You're all missing the silver lining here: it made $70M, yes, but it made OVER HALF of that on Friday alone. Ridiculously shitty drops within a single weekend. Probably a 70% drop coming next weekend too. In brief, all the obsessed fans basically went and saw it Friday. Now there is no one left who gives a damn.
-
I dunno Solo, I bet this is a movie where the fans will go see it multiple times because really, what else do lame teenage girls have to do? They certainly aren't having sex with ME.
-
They certainly aren't having sex with ME.
Yeah but nobody is, so that doesn't really matter.
-
They also said that about Sex and the City. Movie wound up doing $50 million more, maybe $60 million more, after its first weekend.
Still, that is a good sign that teenage girls are still vacuous and when they turn 18, that is where I come in.
-
You seem really confused. You said it might beat TDK. TDK made like 160 million opening weekend. Nearly 100 million MORE than Twilgiht did. Where do you get the idea it can beat it?
AND HSM3 was one of the most profitable movies of the year. Huge success for disney.
-
my sister is currently seeing it for the 4th time today. she took her 4 year old daughter this time. :'(
-
pics of your sister plz

Not true! I had sex with a libertarian chick when I was back in Atlanta a bit ago. Because there's no fucking like hate fucking!

I dont doubt that the fans will go see it several times. I just think that the "hardcore" Twilight fanbase isnt big enough to keep this afloat for long. Then again, what the fuck do I know - I hadnt even heard of Twilight a month ago.

you underestimate the amount of Twilight fans.
-
These younger ladies at work were gushing over the main vampire guy. He's so ugly. Holy shit.

his hair is so stupid.
-
Twilight made $35 million opening day, so $70 isn't that big of a deal in comparison. It'll probably have a huge 2nd week drop and be lucky to hit $150 Mil.
-
So this is what the South Park episode was about? Some shitty Harry Vampotter?
-
I was thinking overall sales. Something about it just seems like it'll sell like gangbusters.
What do you mean? Ticket Sales? There hasn't been any inflation in tickets since july lol.

Yep, that site is the bible of boxoffice info. Their release calendar is the best on the net too imo.
-
This is nearly doing as well as Quantum of Solace on Metacritic. :-\
-
you think HSM3 flopped?? :lol :lol
-
in other news I watched Wall-E for the first time, and on Bluray. All I can say is OMG Pixar
-
It kinda sucked, but not as bad as Ratatouille and Cars did.
-
uhh what? Wall-E was amazing..Ratatouille....are you trolling?
-
fuck, i need to rent Wall-E
ratatoony looks meh but I'll give it a chance.
-
Nope. Wall-E was pretty good, but it wasn't great. Ratatouille sucked.
-
haha it takes all kinds I spose
-

I agree with GG and I was expecting Wall_E to be the greatest thing ever.
-
wall-e was brilliant
-
must be awesome bein too cool for school. If only the two of you could transmit your sneers over the internet
-
Twilight is what harry potter fans moved on to pretty much. It is taking in the potter girls and the fangirls that ruined the Buffy series. That's a pretty rabid force.
-
yeah twilight was better when it was buffy seasons 1-3

I think watching a preview is sufficient

This is the closest emoticon to it :tophat

i can't really believe that people are surprised by this.
it's been a cultural juggernaut for a few years now
but that's ok, i didn't know about Harry Potter until the 4th book, so I can relate.
-
I'm seeing the movie tomorrow.

what are your thoughts on HP btw :-\
-
I have never EVER heard of Twilight until I saw the trailer at the theatres
-
I ALSO buy books at a bookstore and never heard of this. Maybe cuz I dont hang out in the tween section looking for reading material

I loved Wall-E and Ratatouille. Agree that Cars sucked though. What a disappointment.
-
EAT YOUR CALORIES
-
Own Ratatouille and Wall-E both on blu-ray because they're awesome. Cars is shit.
-
Incredibles still tha best.
-
Toy Story is my favorite. Finding Nemo is my second fave.
-
Cars is their weakest...but shit? Come on. There's crap like Madegascar out there
-
Cars is still much better than any of the movies pumped out by Dreamworks.
-
Cars is at WORST an average movie with a lot of money put into it.
-
Bee Movie > Cars
-
Bee Movie sucked.
Kung Fu Panda > Madagascar > Cars > Bee Movie
-
Maybe all this hoopla over Twilight will cause a Buffy movie to get greenlit... maybe...
-
Dreamworks is crap. Just make a bunch of stupid, shitty animals and have them voiced by flavor of the month actors and actresses.
Katzenberg is a tool.
-
I seriously could not watch Cars. It made my eyes rain.
Happy Feet is probably better than Cars. Maybe even Robots!
I think I like Wall-E the most of all the Pixar flicks. Followed by Toy Story and The Incredibles.
-
Cars was horrible. And Ratatouille while good wasn't the OMG BEST PIXAR EVER like many acted like when it came out. All of them are pretty good other than Cars though. The Toy Story movies, Incredibles, and Wall-E are my favorite Pixar movies.
-
what are your thoughts on HP btw :-\
i guess it's ok for a kid's series
i read the first four in like a week (not out of voracious devotion, but because they were easy enough to read) and then stopped. not really concerned with keeping up. I saw the first three movies with friends, but didn't really form an opinion beyond "well done."
it's a shame disney shit all over Lloyd Alexander's books twenty years ago, because I'd love to see some of his stuff done on film.
-
I went to go see this earlier today. I can confirm that the dude who plays the vampire is UGLY. It also tried way too hard to look and feel like a Harry Potter movie.
-
My wife really loved the books (she loves anything with vampires) but WILL NOT go and see the movie.
-
I'm not even gay and imo Edward Cullen is a lookin dude. He's got the jaw structure thing going on
-
I didn't see the movie, but he was looking damn fine in the Goblet of Fire. (hope he was reached the legal back then ಠ_ಠ)
On the other hand, I can totally agree with whoever said his hair looks stupid. He's trying way too hard with the "deviant" attitude.
It's possible he's looking like a hobo on purpose to stave off the tween fatties bleeding themselves for him.
-
His jaw is definitely hawt. Everything above his mouth is ugly, though. He's definitely fuckable.
And the next movie needs a bigger budget. I could see the main vampire guy's contacts in one scene.
