Were you one of the Twilight fans that camped out to catch the very first midnight screening? Well, you definitely weren’t alone.
We’ve been hearing about this movie 24/7 for weeks now, and whether you’re a die-hard Twilight fan or you’re just sick of all the hype, you can’t deny that it has major box office appeal.
How major? According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, the vampire flick made around $7 million in midnight screenings alone!
Fandango also reports these stunning numbers:
- Fandango has been selling 5 Twilight tickets per second
- Fandango sold out more than 1,000 Twilight midnight show times on Thursday
- It’s the company’s fastest-selling film since The Dark Knight in July of this year;
- Twilight takes the #3 spot on Fandango’s list of Top Advance Ticket-Sellers, surpassing the Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Lord of the Rings movies
Even with so-so reviews, it looks like Twilight is going to the “it” movie of 2008. Click here to read all about the movie!

I’m not much of a vampire admirer, but I would like to know which fan is going to be in this movie. I think that person should be proud of themselves and come forward so we all can congratulate him/her. Nevetheless, I’m glad the movie made it big with its midnight screenings.
loveed the movie =)
