Twilight New Moon and More Records Broken
New Moon: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion
Whether you love it or hate it, you can’t help but hear more news about the Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series.
The latest is that the Twilight books have broken Britain’s high street book shop giant Waterstone’s record for the quickest time to sell one million copies.
By selling a million copies in just over two and a half years, Meyer has knocked JK Rowling from the record-holding position.
Says buying manager for children’s books at Waterstone’s, Sarah Clarke, “Popular doesn’t even begin to describe it – the Twilight Saga is a phenomenon in its own right and like Harry Potter it has generated a global sensation that crosses several media.“
And over at Fandango, a ticket selling site, vampires have struck down Jedi knights and wizards to take the record for the largest number of pre-sales in the 10 years of operation of the site. New Moon the movie adaptation of the second book in the Twilight series set the record on Saturday evening.
Riding that popularity train, Fandango is offering New Moon gift cards.
Fandango also surveyed New Moon ticket buyers and discovered:
• 98% say the action in New Moon looks better than the action in Twilight.
• 72% plan to see the movie with a group of three friends or more.
• 52% of survey respondents say they dream about vampires.
• 22% are mothers and daughters planning to see New Moon together.
• 10% plan to show up at the theater in costume, dressed as characters from the saga.
I’m curious as to how many fans have bought, or will buy, the New Moon: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion which is getting rave customer reviews.
