the lines are ridiculous for new moon, every showing is sold out this whole weekend.. went friday night @ 6:45 and ended up having to sit on the 3rd row, which turned out to be not so bad afterall with those closeups ;) .. much more adult crowd this time and more men too (guys must be giving in, “if you can’t beat em, join em” right?). my fiance liked it. i really liked the movie far better than the book on this one. taylor lautner’s body is sick, you’d have to be DEAD to not notice or admit that, and his jacob is likeable, once again i felt a sadness towards him in the end, but i’m still Team Edward all the way!!! Kristen Stewart STILL cannot act her way out of a paper bag. she’s pathetic, the screaming in bed scenes were horrible, laughable.. and come onnnnn the love of your life leaves you and you can’t muster up a single tear? who’s directing this girl? seriously bad… she’s lucky she has much better actors around her in this project. i will definitely be seeing it again.. and again… it’s just what we do isn’t it? lol

I LOVED IT!!! Team Jacob all the way (I saw it at midnight) If you were Team Edward in Twilight Jacob will make you switch right over to his side, Bella got on my nerves though!

I went to the 9pm showing of Twilight on Thurs Nov 19 and stayed for midnight showing of New Moon.I actually felt there was an even mix,if not more,of adults than teens.I went with my teenage daughter,her boyfriend and a friend of mine.I am going to see it again on Sunday morning with a cousin who couldnt make it the other night.Was well worth the wait.I am Team Edward all the way,but there was no denying the appeal of Jacob..Now the countdown to Eclipse begins lol!!!!

@Christine,

International records won’t come close to HBP for this. US might. The demographic for this movie simply is too limited to make a serious run at 10 figures, USD. Plus, 29% Rottentomatoes… non book fans aren’t going to be spreading this by word of mouth.

Opening day numbers are impressive, however.

In a side note, I wonder if a 17 year old girl were being as overtly sexualized and lusted after by 40yo+ “twi-dads” as TL is and by “twi-moms” if it would be seen as socially acceptable….

It will be the bigget mneymaker of the year and break all sorts of records…. that will only stand untill the last two segments of Harry Potter come out… I’m pretty sure they will break all records.

i’ve already seen it twice. i went at midnight with a bunch of friends and then tonight again at 10pm with a few friends…the second time i saw it i was still just as excited as the first time…waiting in line the first time for like an hour was worth it and then at 10pm we stood in line for 30 mins…i love the movie!!!!

Okay, just got back from seeing it. Better acting, better music, and truer to the book. Kristin Stewart looked beautiful in this movie! I can’t decide if it is her physical maturation or her maturation as an actress. Either way, very satisfied with this one. What did you think, Trent?

i’ve seen it twice already. i got a 10 am ticket for friday cuz midnite shows were sold out. but broke down and got ticket at our new little local theatre yesterday so i went twice in 12 hrs. haha. it was great. i liked that they took more liberties with changing it a bit… the changes they made really made the movie better. new moon was my least favorite book in the series, but i doubt the movie will be my least fave of the series.

taylor really makes jacob!!! he MAKES that character. count down to eclipse now!!!! yeeeehaw

Er, when is Dr. Drew Pinsky going to do a Twilight Saga Sober House?! Ok, ok….even tho I probably need it, I wouldn’t go ;) New Moon is an improvement over Twilight and I hope they keep on getting better. Kristin Stewart, in all fairness, appeared to be really trying to bring Bella to life…maybe we should quit hating on her…just sayin’. Jacob on screen is WAY better than Jacob in the book (thanks Taylor), Edward looked *amazing*, as did the Volturi and the action scenes involving them were fantastic! I wouldn’t discourage non-fans of the books from going because I’ve seen some come away (from Twilight) having enjoyed it – but overall, if you’re not a fan of that genre (at the very least), you probably wouldn’t care for it. Oh, and it’s only Friday night and I’ve already seen it twice….paging Dr. Drew…..

@CHASE… Totally agree with you! He’s very annoying in the books. Lautner does make him more likeable in the movies.

why is this such an insane phenomenon?? The books really weren’t that good, and the first movie sure wasn’t either. But, I do love Kristen and Rob I gotta say.

After last night, I converted to Team Jacob! But only Movie Jacob. The book Jacob is annoying as hell but Taylor makes me like Jacob, the character, a lot more… : )

I skipped work and saw it this morning at a smaller theater and I was successful in avoiding any screaming fans.

Enjoyed the movie very much =)

I feel like i am starting to OD on all of this Twilight coverage! It is everywhere!

I’m going to the 11:30 showing tonight! I thought that might be late enough to avoid the tween crowd, but we’ll see. I’m hoping we see as much shirtless Taylor as we saw of Hugh Jackman in Australia!

My theater was a mixed bag. Moms w/ young kids who were quite obviously fans themselves, teenagers, etc. A lot of yelling for Team Edward in the beginning, but after about the 23498230948234th time Jacob popped up shirtless the crowd seemed to shift their allegiance.

Saw it last night at 12:30a and was quite pleased. I’m not their “target audience” so of course I found some flaws but overall, it’s soooo much better than Twilight.
I think it’ll definitely be a big moneymaker this year. Twilight fans were disappointed with the first movie and the Studio really made up for their shortcomings with New Moon.

@ Abby: Saw it at a “21 and over” theater…they still scream when the boys come on screen. There really is no escaping it.

I will be seeing New Moon tonight in a theatre with people over the age of 21 with a drink in my hand. I’m happy about both! :)
