'Twilight' took the opening weekend box office! Mon. A.M. Box Office reports say 'Twilight' took in $70,045,000 this past weekend. And we all know that silly Hollywood believes in opening weekend receipt!
Yesterday (Nov. 23) MTV Movie blog reported that a sequel has already been officially confirmed.
Plus, this MTV article also said that they were looking for the film to take in about $72 million the first weekend. Because that's the kind of box office territory usually reserved for "Harry Potter" flicks in this season. Soooooooo, seems $70 million isn't far off the mark. :-)
All good news, for we "Addicted To Twilight" fans. ,-) Which most likely makes people wonder ~ What is the draw of a teen vampire story, for people beyond their teens?
I think I saw a very good explanation of that, somewhere in blog-land yesterday... (Sorry but I can't remember where, to give link-credit.) But it went something like the following, with which I agree. We who are beyond teen-hood, and got hooked by the books, simply really, really enjoyed the story. And also, we really, really enjoyed sinking into it totally. If one wants to call that regression, so be it.
When a reader gets completely caught up in any work of fiction, don't they sort of jump right into it and live it themselves, for a while? Any book we find great! The characters need not be our exact age. We all have the ability to remember younger times, and to imagine later life. So ~ why not? :-)))
I'd be interested to know if this explains it, to those who are not 'Twilight Addicted'? :-))) Or if anyone else has a better explanation...

At first, I didn't plan on seeing this film for the same reason, "teen movie". But I've been hearing from more adults who've seen the film and liked it, so I may just get a matinee ticket and see it for myself one day this week.
