So it looks like every 10-40YO female in America was busy on Friday night. Cinemas across America saw the opening of the second Twilight film and in the opening Friday night the film took in 72.7M smashing the Dark Knights record of 67.2M.
I knew it would happen but for it to beat the Dark Knights record - I shake my head in disbelief as TDK will be a far superior film in my opinion. Here's hoping the film dies down after week one, but considering Titanic was basically a love story and that's the biggest film of all time, I highly doubt this film will stop for quiet some time an it will bring in a lot of money.

every 10 - 40yr old female? I think your missing out a HUGE chunk of the male demographic who are into the Twilight series *raises hand*.....ie the same demographic that seem to circle the Rocky board ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Anyways, the first one was really good. I had never heard of the books before the movie came out, and dare i say, i enjoyed the first movie MORE than TDK. I havent seen the 2nd one yet (coz its not out here yet, worryingly). And before anyone asks.....TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!! On other interesting Box Office news, did u see the HUGE opening for the Blinde Side. Im so happy for Sandra Bullock...not only was The Proposal her biggest opening ever (even bigger than Speed!?)...but this movie beat even that with a $30+ million opening!! So now she can open COMEDIES and DRAMA. I love this career resurgence...and to think, before 2009 she had never opened a movie more than $19m!!! AND now there is oscar talk ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Move over Julia, America has a new sweetheart!! This is how u do counter programming to Twilight...appeal to the older-female market AND the football fans!!! PLUS have u seen the trailer...OMG, CHILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Shallow, I'm far from a Twilight fans as one could be - and I do not see the appeal to Rob Paterson - Rocky is far more appealing.
We so don't have any similar tastes bar Rocky films me thinks. LOL. TDK rocked for me.
Those romantic comedy's go nuts, even on DVD, we just had The Proposal released yesterday and it will rent like crazy and Blind Side will do the same when released.

well i dont like romantic comedies...if thats another thing we have in common. As much as i love Sandar Bullocks late-in-life success, i still wont go see The Proposal.
Anyhow, at first i was like u...i never saw the appeal of R Pattinson. I mean, hes not classically handsome....but if u watch Twilight, u fall in love with HIM coz of who he is, how he acts...its more than just looks. (Hey, for once im not being shallow and superficial)....Im not a Twihard or anything, but i just enjoyed the first movie...such a cool story, cool guy and considering I HATE love stories, i actually enjoyed the romance....I just hope the 2nd one is as good.
I guess im in the minority here, but i found TDK just ok...not saying it was a bad movie...I enjoyed it yes, but im not wetting myself over it. (Im not wetting myself over Twilight either -- its just i preferred it over TDK)..
Different strokes for different folks.....
