Twilight Chick flick redefined
With its muscular $70 million opening weekend despite scant appeal for guys, "TWilight" has redefined expectations for the chick flick.
While offering some high-flying vampire battles, its main action centres on the developing romance between two teens played by relative unknowns Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Women and girls made up more than 75 percent of the film's opening-weekend audience, according to Fandango, com, which sells tickets and conducts surveys about recentreleases.
With the movie's stellar opening weekend -- it trounced the celebrated $55.7 million opening of "Sex and the City" --studios ought to take notice of women's continued ticket-buying power, said Paul Dergarabedian of boxoffice tracking firm Media By Numbers.
"The word 'chick flick' is going to have to be replaced by big box-office girl-power flick," he said. "The boxoffice clout of the female audience is just astounding, and it's been an underserved audience fot
trouble finding money fot the things they're passionate about."
Merriam-Webster'J online dictionary defines chick flick as "a motior picture intended to appea especially to women." Bui "Twilight" is no lightweighi date movie -- instead, it's a real-girl's chick flick, where
a normal-looking teenager finds romance with a modern (if undead) Prince Charming.
"It's the most insanely romantic film since ’The Notebook,'" said Harry Medved, a spokesman for Fandango.com, who described Pattinson's Edward Cullen as "the ideal boyfriend... He’s incredibly strong, superfast, impossibly handsome, he plays the piano and all he cares about
is what's on her mind."
