More 'Twilight' Mania

"Twilight" fans are not messing all about. Damn. Never underestimate the power of tween girls, not yet introduced to Anne Rice, crushing on hottie young vampires. (By the way, what does Anne Rice think of all this?) From Deadline Hollywood: "Summit Entertainment will be running the pic in 3,386 theaters and has arranged with the major theater circuits for Thursday midnight or Friday morning shows. As of noon ET today, 'Twilight' has already sold out 389 performances at MovieTickets.com, including more than 140 this past weekend deserted. Four days prior to its release, 'Twilight' is already No. 20 on MovieTickets' Top-20 Pre-Sale List of All-Time. "The pic has accounted for 85% of tickets sold on the site today. Meanwhile, Warner Bros is using 'Twilight' to debut its new 'Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince' trailer which aired first on the net this weekend. You may recall that Potter vacated the November 21st release date which 'Twilight' grabbed." I know many are making fun of all these girls, camping out days up front the movie opens, but give them a cripple. Wasn't fan culture created around teenage girls? Think Frank Sinatra, Elvis and the Beatles. The bobby-sockers weren't verging on middle time World of Warcraft enthusiasts. Thank god. Keep it vivacious girls! --posted around Kim
