Twilight Most Anticipated Fall Film Reports Fandago
Posted on August 28, 2008
MTV reports that a poll on Fandango has found that the most anticipated movie coming out this Fall is the Twilight move based on the popular Stephenie Meyer fantasy novel series.
It's not "High School Musical 3." It's not the new James Bond flick, "Quantum of Solace," either. It's certainly no longer "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."The Twilight film comes out on 11-21-08. The Harry Potter film was moved so that gave Twilight an opening. There has been huge buzz for the latest Twilight novel as well. It sold 1.3 million copies shortly after being released. However, some fans were reportedly unhappy about the ending.When asked the question "If you could choose only one movie to see in the theater in the next four months, which film would be your first choice?" "Twilight," the eagerly anticipated first movie to be adapted from Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster series turned out, in fact, to be the MOST anticipated movie of the fall, according to a recent poll on movie website Fandango.com.
"Twilight" was voted the number one most anticipated film by 34% of nearly 3,500 respondents, handily beating second place finisher "Quantum of Solace" (20%).
"We are surprised by overwhelming buzz for 'Twilight' as the film to beat for the Fall," Rick Butler, Fandango's Chief Operating Officer, told MTV News. "Among all upcoming movies, 'Twilight' has consistently ranked among our top 3 most requested titles [the other two are 'Harry Potter' and 'Watchmen']. Much of the anticipation has to do with the blockbuster novel, and moviegoers looking for a great fantasy in the fall. It appears to have a wide appeal, as parents are also looking for a film they can enjoy along with their teenagers."
