"LOS ANGELES - Audiences found the vampire romance "Twilight" infectious in its opening weekend, pushing the movie to a take of $70.6 million."

"Drawing from its huge fan base of teenage girls, who fell for Stephenie Meyer's novel of forbidden love between brooding vampire Edward Cullen and bookish high schooler Bella Swan, "Twilight"...."

""Teen girls rule the earth," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers. "

"It was always teen boys who were the coveted ones, but someone finally caught on to the idea that girls love movies, too, and if you create something that they're into, that they're passionate about, they will come out in big numbers and drive the box office."

Okay, so for fans of the Twilight novel, i guess this would pretty much mean that the movie is going to be very nice, so its worth your movie ticket. ^^

However, to those who feel that such a novel gives a wrong notion of Vampires, ( Benjamen ) I dont disagree with you, but this movie/novel shows that if we alter something, it might attract more attention. In this case, If this novel/movie were about Vampires sucking blood etc. ( or whatever your perception of Vampires appears to be ) I would guess that it wouldnt have attracted so much people to watch it, as it would be a little boring to see the same thing over again.

But then again, everyone has their own views.
I personally am looking forward to seeing the movie.
However i think on the day of the release, the cinema will be packed with girls, outnumebering boys 100:1. Lols! Afterall, its tagret audience is the teenage girls.
