Rama’s SCREEN

Variety has an interesting article that brought me to this this segment of DARE 2 DISCUSS. Here are some interesting facts surrounding the upcoming most anticipated movie of fall 2008, TWILIGHT…

- More than 500 Thursday midnight shows sold out, according to online ticketer Fandango.

- According to MovieTickets.com, nearly 400 runs of Twilight are sold out for the weekend.

- Summit has to add midnight screenings in advance of Friday’s official opening based on demand

- Today, hundreds of Twilight fangirls camped out to get a glimpse of the red carpet premiere

- I received e-mails from Rama’s SCREEN female readers who asked me if I can hook them up with tickets to the TWILIGHT Premiere screening.

- There are reportedly 8,000 members of fan club Twilight Moms.

- Survey found that 65% said it was the love story that appealed to them most, while 18% said it was the vampire aspect

There’s been at trend based on the strength of fangirls everywhere..

- SEX AND THE CITY Movie surprised everyone when it earned $57 million in its opening weekend (an unheard of opening gross for a chick flick)

- Disney’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 opened to $42 million

I thought I was a crazy moviegoer,… geez! I’d go to theaters every weekend, and I’d watch an average of 5-6 movies in theaters every weekend. I’d probably be willing to camp out for The Dark Knight sequel premiere, but not so much for.. say… Star Wars movies like some of the people I know who’d even dress up in costumes for the event.
Aren’t female moviefans tend to be much calmer than guys when admiring a movie? Or is that a wrong assumption?

Are girls Crazier moviegoers than guys?
