Trixie99 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Talking WOM with a Twi film is kind of pointless. The fans always love the films for about a week. EVERY film has had "great WOM" opening weekend. They'll hate it by next weekend.I don't think they'll hate it by next week or anything, but I remember Eclipse getting quite a positive WOM from fans when it first came out.... and as well some people who weren't exactly fans of Twilight. It seemed to be really loved when it first came out. It's only now I'm hearing that it apparently didn't have great word of mouth. Either that or I'm misunderstanding something. I swear though, it was not that way a year and a half ago. Edited November 19, 2011 by Trixie99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the best movie of the franchise and obviously had the most mainstream appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Eclipse is the best book too, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a competent director, a passable score that enabled non-teenagers to help take the movie seriously, and balanced the love story with a fair amount of action as well.

It also might be end up being the only movie besides BD2 in the franchise to make 300M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 19, 2011 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 19, 2011 Shawn, what did you think of BD1?Had to switch up plans yesterday, so I'm probably seeing it tonight in the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yes, almost certainly. I still can't see BD1 topping 300m.It must. I don`t care how but it must because BD2 must top Avengers. I decided so it gotta happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Fans are obviously responding enthusiastically: Breaking Dawn - Part I boasts a 92% approval rating from more than 52,000 Flixster users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 19, 2011 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 19, 2011 Let's see how big the drop is today before we get too carried away. Keep in mind that New Moon did about $6 million more in post-midnight Friday business. (Not trying to downplay it, just pointing out that the finale isn't likely to expand the audience too much beyond that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertron Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 LOLWUT? DH1 - DH2: 61.7m - 91.1m DH1 - DH2: 125m - 169m BD1 - BD2: 72m - 106.3m (taking the same increase) BD1 - BD2: 139m - 187.9m (taking the same increase) Now, those BD2 numbers are with the same increase from DH1 to DH2 - Twilight is so much more frontloaded and WILL have a much bigger rush factor, I think 200m OW is definitely in play.
