UPDATE: Twilight Fans Set Up Tent City For Monday’s ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ Premiere
UPDATE: More photos of global Twi-Hards at the Summit Entertainment-hosted tent city in Downtown LA and are assigned their “camping spot” at LA Live in front of the Nokia Theater. Fans line up for Monday’s premiere of the last movie in the Twilight Saga series – Breaking Dawn Part 2:
Do not diss these fans from around the world today braving the rain and beginning to arrive at the Summit Entertainment-hosted fan camp in Downtown LA. Given the precarious state of the North American box office, an event pic like this is just what the doctor ordered for Hollywood’s up-and-down box office. If you’re experiencing deja vu, that’s because this mania happens every time Summit has released one of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga novels as a film since 2008. But now the series is coming to a end. Here are photos of Twi-hards waiting to be assigned their ”camping spot” at LA Live in front of the Nokia Theater. All to glimpse the stars of the final installment Breaking Dawn Part 2 walk the red carpet at Monday’s premiere — especially Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson, together again — and live-streamed on Yahoo Movies. This year Summit is offering camping spots to 2,200, making this the franchise’s largest camp to date and nearly double last year’s. The studio has planned various events to relieve the inevitable boredom of the campers this weekend: fitness workouts, musical concerts, cast breakfasts, and Twilight Saga screenings. Meanwhile the big online ticket-sellers already are doing a brisk business for the film which releases in North America at 10 PM on November 15 at many local theaters and then around the world via multiple show times November 16th. Theater owners will be scrambling all Thursday to add more screenings to meet fan demand. Advance ticket sales for the film accounted for nearly 30% of MovieTickets and Fandango sales for Wednesday. Here’s the LA Live weekend schedule:
Thursday PM - Twilight screens.
Friday 10:30 AM – Jamba Juice will host a morning workout for campers on the Nokia Plaza L.A. LIVE with award-winning fitness instructors, a Twilight-themed workout, with smoothie samples. New Moon and Eclipse both screen.
Saturday 1 PM – The Twilight Fan Camp Concert presented by Time Warner Cable with performances by A Boy and His Kite, Anya Marina, Paul McDonald & Nikki Reed, and Christina Perri. Breaking Dawn Part 1 screens.
Sunday 10:30 AM – Fans will be treated to breakfast from The Corner Bakery sponsored by Time Warner Cable with surprise appearances from the cast.
