New Moon banks at box office

This is the second film in the block buster series and did double what Twilight opened with of only sixty nine million dollars. As said on http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/22/boxoffice.newmoon.ew/index.html ,
New Moon took first place in the box office with bringing in over one hundred forty point seven million dollars on the midnight showing of this block buster; this being the third biggest weekend opening in movie history. With more than eighty percent of the tickets were sold to women. Still nothing seems to beat, “The Dark Knight,” with a whopping record of one hundred fifty eight point four million on its first weekend. Although the vampire and werewolf combo still held its own with the second day of showing bringing in a stellar sixty nine point six million. Noted in http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/11/22/eveningnews/main5739857.shtml this movie was targeted for more the teenage audience and with much surprise, the audience was as filled with the middle age criteria of forty something as well. New Moons midnight opening grossed in twice the amount of Twilights weekend debut. Cathy Plume a moviegoer states, “"We laugh about how silly it is to be captured by this movie," said Plume, who is not exactly a high school student.” Those devoted fans of New Moon will wait patiently in the dark, silent, waiting to pounce as those they love do on the screen, waiting for the next movie opening in June.

My excitement to read these two articles in regards to what I had seen with millions of other women and young girls this weekend. The movie critics need to learn what the moviegoers want and not want but what they think is presentable. Look at Harry Potter, sold millions as well, never a bomb always a money maker. Again, New Moon leaves you wanting more, and more and more.

"The movie is about teenagers and aimed at teenagers. Yet the theaters are filled with 40-somethings,” Meg Symington stated. I was one of many, many forty something’s in that auditorium theatre and it was packed. I agree with, “Everybody remembers their high school love, their first crush, the emotion of it all," Symington said. "I think even at our age we can relate to that." I strongly agree with Meg that we all can remember our first love; this is what connects us to what we are watching even more. Edward, Jacob, Jasper, Emit and Carlisle show passion and romance something as of today that is pretty much extinct. Women desire this that is lacking in society among many other things in our time, and this movie is picture proof of what I am saying is correct.

The movies, Twilight and New Moon are one of a few movies involving vampires. This touch of the old era and the touch of the kids of today in the new era brings the younger generation into show as well. Whether it is werewolf or vampire, whether it is a teenage girl or a middle age woman, we all desire the same. The men of today are not getting the real picture as to what attracts a woman to movies such as Twilight or New Moon or as far as that goes True Blood on HBO. I have listened and watched the men in amazement as to the wonderment of why all the different aged women are so connected, so attracted, so drawn to such a story. I guess my question is don’t you think they need to look, listen, and learn as to what all the commotion is about? The statement I’m relaying could have even been the answer to many divorces over the years; women are yearning for the days of chivalry. The days the doors were held open, the day’s women were treated with dignity and respect, the days of passion and true love. The day’s women were honored and adored. Please don’t get me wrong this is not about male bashing, this is about what women are yearning and obviously starving for. The days of yesteryear were men were men and women were loved, adored and cared for. Is there a message in all this science-fiction that needs to be understood more than Bella and Edward and there undying love for one another as Jacob sits helpless from afar? I don’t know you tell me.
