Latest News On 'Twilight' Zone Phenom - TWILIGHT SETUR MARK SITT

FRIDAY UPDATE: Summit Entertainment tells me Twilight midnight shows made "north of $7 million" Thursday. That's a big number. Here are some other updates on the Twilight zone phenomenon: major online ticket-seller Fandango has been selling 5 Twilight tickets per second as of early this morning. According to an online poll, 34% of moviegoers said they will take off a few hours from school or the office today to see the pic. It’s Fandango's fastest-selling film since The Dark Knight in July of this year. It now occupies the #3 spot on Fandango’s list of Top Advance Ticket-Sellers, surpassing the Harry Potter, Pirates Of The Caribbean, and Lord of the Rings movies. (Only Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and The Dark Knight remain in the #1 and #2 spots, respectively.) Twilight also finished in the No. 5 slot on MovieTickets.com's Top-5 Presellers of All-Time, one spot ahead of Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert and one behind Dark Knight.

British heartthrob Robert Pattinson will be handing out hickeys like hot cakes on the November 28 episode of The Tyra Banks Show, where the star of the vampire-themed love story Twilight takes the former supermodel up on her offer to nip her neck on camera.
