I was in line at 10:30 on Thursday night for my 12:01 showing and I have to say, I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED!!! The whole thing, if I was going to do a movie based on a book as wonderful as New Moon, I would have chosen exactly the scenes, of course, I would have liked some of it to be longer but, WOW, it was beyond awesome and I am going to go see it again, all the tickets are sold out pretty much the first week.

I am so glad that I was able to see it last night. A lot of the theaters were sold out where I live. The movie was awesome and I can’t wait for Eclipse to come out.

I saw it twice on Friday. Every show was sold out here. At least two of the shows were sold out online. I feel bad for the people who didn’t think to purchase their tickets ahead of time online.

I was able to get the last seat on Friday for a 10:10pm showing. It was awesome! The crowd had more of a reaction to Taylor L that Rpatz. They even laughed at Alice’s vision of Bella/Edward running in those flowy clothes. And of course the young ones went crazy over Edward proposing at the end. There were a few “odd” moments like Jacob at the end of the theater scene. The pack never breaks a sweat even though they run hot or even when they get angry, etc. But overall awesome! Soundtrack is cool too. I got the bonus disk with the music interview from Target – cool I just wished they would have shown the music video after the interviews that was the only letdown.

I have to agree, I feel kind of cool thinking that I was one of those Midnight viewers! AND I even went to work the next day!!! It was a blast and I have never been to a movie that the audience was so quite! I felt like part of a community. That was neat. How many more days til Eclipse? 219?

Awesomeness! Thanks again Chris for the film and I’m so glad everyone has been turning out to see it. Friends in England are saying they were in sold out theatres too so those numbers should help.

I think that’s fabulous. Gotta remember that it’s playing in about 20% more theaters. So the numbers should be a bit higher. Still, this is awesome for the franchise and I hope that means a green light for Breaking Dawn.

Those numbers are amazing. I just saw it Sunday morning and I thought it was a great movie! Some parts I felt went a little fast, but you can only do so much with a movie. I am definitely going to go see it a few more times. I am so very excited for eclipse and breaking dawn now!!!

What I think is the most interesting is the midnight showings figures. Because none of those #s are people seeing it again.

They were all die hard fans, out at midnight, seeing it for the first time….over TRIPLE the number that ventured out to the theaters at midnight last year.
