'New Moon' Breaks Box-Office Record for Midnight Screenings
Posted by Robin on 20 Nov 2009 || 0 Comments
MTV News is reporting that 'New Moon' broke the box-office record for midnight screenings, set previously by 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'. I know one theater in my area had the movie on 20 screens at midnight, and all 20 were sold out. They even had to add 3:00 am screenings to meet the demand.
Summit Entertainment is reporting that the "Twilight" sequel opened on Thursday night to an unprecedented $26.3 million during its midnight screenings across the country. The film unspooled on 3,514 screens, playing at 12:01 a.m. for die-hard fans — many of whom arrived at the theaters dressed as their favorite characters.
That total handily beats the midnight-screening record of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." This seems to vindicate "Twilight" star Jackson Rathbone, who famously responded to our question of whether Stephenie Meyer's franchise could take on J.K. Rowling's juggernaut, "I don't know; they've got brooms."
In case you need further proof that "Twilight" is the new "Potter," look no further than the recent news that "New Moon" set the record for most presold tickets before opening day, or that the movie's soundtrack charted at #1. Or that a one-day re-release of "Twilight" grossed $1.3 million on 2,057 screens on Thursday. And so, the lion fell in love with the lamb, and moviegoers fell in love with the "Twilight" series.
UPDATE: ScreenStar has a report on this as well.

GQ: A Twilight Male Fan's Confession
Posted by Robin on 20 Nov 2009 || 0 Comments
GQ have posted an article written by one of their junior editors. In the article he discusses being a male fan of 'Twilight'. It is pretty interesting, because he tries to make the case for 'Twilight' from a male's perspective. If you have a brother, father, husband, or boyfriend that refuses to see the films, maybe you should have him read the article. 
Thanks to Andrew for the information.

Posted by Robin on 20 Nov 2009 || 6 Comments
Soundtracks Examiner has posted an exclusive interview with Alexandre Desplat, composer of the'New Moon' score.
So, how did come to get the New Moon score project? Was this something you actively sought out, or did it fall into your lap?
I was actually very lucky to know Chris Weitz, with whom I worked on The Golden Compass. He called me and offered the film, and I said, “Sure Chris, I would love to work with you again.” It was a great experience working with Chris. He loves music, speaks French, and we have a nice relationship.
Did you listen to Carter Burwell’s score for the first Twilight film when you accepted New Moon?
No, not only did I not listen to it, but I didn’t even watch the movie. I didn’t want to be influenced by it. Carter is a great composer and I loved his scores for the Coen Brothers. And I knew that if I went there, I would be in danger, because I knew that I would enjoy it and then be influenced by it. So I just passed and avoided it altogether.
