Twilight Part 2 Gets the Green Light

Twilight opened to HUGE numbers this weekend with an opening of $70.6 Million to open at number one.

This opening was so big that it's sequel New Moon is already in the works and stars Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had a message for their fans.



They would be absolutely insane not to make a sequel after the weekend this movie had. It's like Harry Potter all over again. Yes I realise I'm making a lot of HP comparisons but how could you not. The teen consumers have spoken and they want magic and mystery.

Rounding out the top three movies this weekend were Quantum of Solace, No. 2 with $27.4 million, while Miley Cyrus' Disney film, Bolt, claimed third place, with $27 million.

Twilight Mania

Twilight fever has hit in a huge way. I don't think there has ever been this much buzz about a teen book series (Harry Potter doesn't count - it's in a category all on it's own). Even Tyra wanted a bite from everyone's favourite vampire, Robert Pattinson.

Harry Potter fans would remember Robert as the ill-fated Cedric Diggory but he has found his own following as the 100 year olde vampire from the Stephanie Meyer teen series Twilight.

Twilight opened Friday at midnight and is expected to take in $70 million this weekend at the box office.

Pretty good for a teen series.

Robert and his co-star Taylor Lautner will be on the November 28 episode of the Tyra show.
