I read an article called `Twilight' takes $70.6M bite out of box office in opening weekend
by Christy Lemire. The article talked about the new movie Twilight reaching $70.6 million in the opening weekend. Teenage girls surrounded the theaters, who fell in love with Stephenie Meyer's novel of forbidden love between vampire Edward Cullen and high schooler Bella Swan. The estimates even said $20,636 per theater. The director had said that they will be discussing the filming of 'New Moon' based on the second book of the series. But they want to make sure the movie will be done right and not rush into it too fast. Hardwicke (director) also mentioned that they want the movies to inspire other women and young girls to pursue a career in filmmaking. I think that this will happen because I saw the midnight premiere of the movie Twilight and it was really good. It was well organized and had an amazing scenery. It costed $37 million to make said Summit Entertainment. Overall, Twilight was a huge success and everyone fell in love with it.
