Girls and women of all ages (and a few men) flocked out to AMC Olathe Studio 30 for what will surely become a box office stunner. Most unconcerned with the midnight showing. They braved the late night cold, crowds and the possibility of being late for work and school to support their team. Be it Team Edward or Team Jacob these fans were out in full force which included folding chairs, blankets, laptops and plenty of Twilight gear. We arrived at 6pm for a screening of Ninja Assassin (look for the review next week) and were stunned by the two hundred plus fans already in line. AMC Olathe seemed at a loss for how to handle this magnitude of fans so early in the day. They had them roped off into two separate sections.

As we waited for our screening we grabbed a bite at MacGuffins (Fork & Screen) and they were even Twilighters offering us two drink specials in honor of New Moon. Both were delicious and a great way to start the night. Following our drink frenzy we headed into our screening which let out a little after nine. To my amazement the line’s for the midnight showing of Twilight: New Moon which I thought were already long had somehow tripled. There were fans lined up to the back of AMC Studio.

I must say I was impressed. These fans came out in full force. It was not just at Olathe Studio but it was also across town at AMC Mainstreet and Phoenix Theatres at the Legends. Twilight: New Moon may not be your type of film and you may plain just hate it, but the fans that have read the books or loved Twilight have shown that they are going to keep this film strong. This is what the entertainment industry loves to see. Even though Rotten Tomatoes show the rating at a mere 28% as of this morning that does not matter to the fans, us critics just share an opinion and most of the time our readers will see a film regardless of what we say or think. I love it! Not to mention this film is already slated to hit the box office in a big way with more than $100 million ticket presales!!! More power to you Twilight fans, now get some sleep.
