'Twilight' Eclipses 'Quantum of Solace' at Box Office

by Celebuzz on Nov. 7, 2008 11:39 AM / 2 Comments

Looks like Robert Pattinson can stop sweating about the future of his film career.

USA Today's "Lifeline Live" reports that more than 100 shows have already been sold out for Twilight's November 21 premiere. The vampire saga is accounting for nearly two-thirds of overall ticket sales, according to ticket vendor Fandango.

This could be bad news for Twilight's cinematic competition, the new James Bond thriller Quantum of Solace, which is raking in a paltry 6 percent of ticket sales.

Poor Daniel Craig; after all the blood and sweat he poured into the new Bond flick, he's being commercially bested by a bunch of bloodsuckers half his age. Though it's never a wise move to count James Bond out—he may be wounded, but he's not licked yet.

Time will tell which flick will emerge victorious.

“Kristen Stewart sat down with EW.com for a candid interview with the magazine to talk about the upcoming vampire film. ”I just want to make sure Twilight’s worth the ginormous attention it receives. Everyone said this is a big-deal movie. But I hate when people celebrate before you have something to celebrate about,” Kristen said.”

“Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson grace the second cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Inside the magazine, author Stephenie Meyer talks about her skepticism over Robert, who plays lead vampire Edward Cullen: “I asked the producer, ‘Is Rob ready for this? Have you guys prepped him? Is he ready to be the It Guy?’ I don’t think he really is.””

Every time I see Robert Pattinson, I think, "Damn, his hair would probably make a pretty good toilet brush."
