Twilight Saga: Miley Cyrus comments on Twilight

In an interview with The Morning Mashup, Miley Cyrus disses Robert Pattinson and confesses her infatuation with Zac Efron. After being quizzed about People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive," Cyrus conceded that Johnny Depp did deserve to be called sexy, but if she had her way, Efron would top the list.

"...Zac Efron is the hottest person in the world. I really, really like him. And it's weird, I've kind of talked about it before and been like, it's weird because he's my friend."
However, the Disney sweetheart sang a different tune when it came to the subject of the Twilight movies.

"I think it's a cult. I think it's bad. I think it's like, just, people get too into it and like, for me I think it's like, I don't know, it's like when guys look at supermodels and they're like, that's the perfect girl. That's what those kind of movies do to us."

Twilight Saga: New Moon Director Chris Weitz ignores film critics

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON director CHRIS WEITZ has chosen to ignore what film critics say about his latest movie - because he's more concerned with the opinions of the series' notoriously hard-to-please fans.

Weitz was brought in to replace Catherine Hardwicke for the Twilight sequel after she was sidelined by studio executives, but his take on author Stephenie Meyer's fantasy franchise was still met with mixed reviews.

But, now that he's managed to thrill Meyer's devotees, Weitz is happy - and he insists he doesn't need the opinions of film critics.

He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "Nothing surprises me in terms of reviews... If one could imagine their biggest fears, it would be complete rejection of the movie by the fans.

"What I've realised over the last week is I won't necessarily get good reviews for this movie. Having swallowed that, this was made for the fans, and if you don't get it, then you don't get it."

The Twilight sequel made a staggering $140.7 million (£87.9 million) in its opening weekend (20-22Nov09) in America alone to become the third biggest debut in American box office history.

Twilight Saga: New Moon earned $72.7 million across the United States and Canada on Friday

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" smashed the record for a single-day opening at the North American box office, and was on track to score one of the biggest weekend tallies of all time, according to preliminary data issued on Saturday.

The vampire romance sequel earned $72.7 million across the United States and Canada on Friday, a figure that includes record-breaking midnight sales of $26.3 million, said the film's closely held distributor Summit Entertainment.

The old record for a single-day opening was $62.2 million, held by last year's "Batman" sequel "The Dark Knight," which went on to become the second-biggest grossing movie of all time in North America before accounting for inflation.

Such heights could be difficult for the "Twilight" sequel to attain. Still, industry observers expect it could finish up with upwards of $125 million for the weekend once Saturday sales data and Sunday estimates are issued early on Sunday.

That would place the film at No. 4 in the record books, behind "The Dark Knight" ($158 million), "Spider-Man 3" ($151 million), and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" ($136 million), and ahead of "Shrek the Third" ($122 million), according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo.

The previous record for midnight sales was held by "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," which kicked off its run with $22.2 million in sales in July.

The "New Moon" predecessor, "Twilight," released exactly a year ago, ended up with $193 million in North America after an opening weekend of $70 million.

The sequel revisits the dangerous romance between high school student Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

After falling in love with each other in "Twilight," Bella and Edward break up in "New Moon." Bella finds solace in her friendship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), an American Indian who is also a werewolf. Jacob protects Bella from vampires who kill humans, but she still longs for the gentle blood-sucker Edward who got away.

The film, New Moon, directed by Chris Weitz, - New Moon become the highest-grossing in the history of Spain

New Moon took over 10 million euros at the box office on its first weekend. The film New Moon, based on the blockbuster trilogy by Stephanie Meyers, attracted over 1.6 million viewers in three days, exceeding the success of its first instalment by 150%.

The chaste romance between the otherworldly vampire played by teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson and amorous teenager, Kristen Stewart has not only lured Spain movie goers, but has grossed $ 140 million (93.5 million) in U.S. and $ 260 million (173.5 million) worldwide.

Until now, another multibillion-dollar franchise, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" from Walt Disney, had been the most successful in Spain with 9.6 million, followed by another adaptation of a best seller, The Da Vinci Code, with 8.8 million.
