How big of a weekend will Breaking Dawn –- Part 2 have? Well, consider this: the film represented 92 percent of all ticket sales on Fandango for Thursday. There are predictions that it could rake in as much as $150 million.
ABC News Radio caught up with some fans after a late Thursday night screening in Manhattan, and their reviews were mostly positive.
A woman named Joanna initially screamed with excitement as she spoke to a reporter, then, after composing herself, said, “I thought that it was the perfect marriage of all of the series, and it came together nicely.”
A 22-year-old female fan named Alex gave the film a “B,” explaining, “It was blatantly obvious that it was forced, a lot of it. The sex scenes were horrible. And the fight was really good.”
A man named Jorge — who clearly was not a “Twi-hard” — was less enthusiastic. He said, “It was the least bad of the Twilight movies. Like — it was nowhere near any of the awesome summer blockbusters: No, Batman, no, Avengers, no. It’s the least bad, the least girly movie.”
If Twilight’s not your thing, you can check out Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, which expands into wide release this weekend. Daniel Day-Lewis stars as the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.
