Today, while speaking with Regent Releasing’s Theatrical Marketing Manager, Bryan Westbrook, about the 2009 promotion schedule for Little Ashes, he asked if we would like to break the news about a certain Little Ashes star taking the cover of a major magazine.

Of course we would!

The April edition of the magazine, GQ , will be featuring Robert Pattinson on its cover, to promote the March 27, 2009 release of Little Ashes. Fantastic news for Robert as well as everyone who had a part in the making of this film. Be looking for the issue mid-March to read more about Rob and Little Ashes!

Didn’t changet that much, but it’s a change

Let me know what you think!

Now that’s buying power.

A female-dominated audience drove Twilight’s opening weekend to among the biggest in Hollywood history: a $70.6 million Friday-Sunday gross, per studio estimate.

“This is a game-changer. This is an industry-changing performance,” Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock said today. “…With the success of Sex and the City, and Mamma Mia!, we’ve awoken a sleeping giant at the box office.”

Exit polling showed 75 percent of Twilight’s audience was female. Box-office stats show the movie is the biggest opener for a movie directed by a woman (Catherine Hardwicke).

The vampire romance also played well to the young—overall, 55 percent of ticketbuyers were under age 25.

More Twilight factoids, sequel news and other highlights from the weekend box office after the jump:

* Going into the weekend, Twilight was expected to make, at best, a big $60 million. Where did the extra $10 million come from? Word of mouth, said Summit Entertainment distribution president Richie Fay, who talked of teen girls catching the Friday midnight screenings, and then deciding they had to see the movie again—and again. “It turned out they really liked the movie,” Fay said.
* Of the top 30 openers of all-time, of which Twilight is now one, only seven cost less than $100 million to produce. And only one, The Passion of the Christ, cost less than the $35 million Twilight.
* If Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince had opened Friday, which, as its fans can attest, it didn’t, then Twilight would have opened in December, and, Bock thinks, it would’ve opened smaller. With Potter around, he said, Twilight “just wouldn’t have had the opportunity to open on as many theaters.”
* Thanks to Twilight, Hugh Jackman’s unbeloved Van Helsing is no longer the top-opening vampire movie of all-time, per the stats at Box Office Mojo.
* Twilight didn’t just sell tickets; it sold tickets fast. At one point Friday, Fandango reported selling five Twilight tickets per second. (Fandango and E! Online are both owned by Comcast.)
* So, when’s the sequel opening? Fay said he guessed an official announcement, detailing a release date and principle players, could come this week.
* For movies that weren’t on Team Edward, dethroned champ Quantum of Solace ($27.4 million) and the debuting Bolt ($27 million) did okay.
* On the upside, the latest James Bond is making money faster than the last James Bond, Casino Royale. Quantum’s already made $109.5 million domestically.
* On the downside, the new Bond is fading faster than the last Bond. Casino Royale only fell off 25 percent in its second weekend compared to Quantum’s nearly 60 percent plunge.
* Slumdog Millionaire is the one weekend movie that outdid Twilight. The India-set fantasy averaged an apparently weekend-best $31,063 at each of its 32 theaters.

Here’s a recap of the top-grossing weekend films based on Friday-Sunday estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

1. Twilight, $70.6 million
2. Quantum of Solace, $27.4 milliion
3. Bolt, $27 million
4. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, $16 million
5. Role Models, $7.2 million
6. Changeling, $2.6 million
7. High School Musical 3: Senior Year, $2 million
8. Zack and Miri Make a Porno, $1.7 million
9. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, $1.67 million
10. The Secret Life of Bees, $1.3 million

What does he like about being Edward Cullen? ‘You never have a hair out of place’.

Come to think of it, you might also find it hard to believe that Robert Pattinson wants to be your president. Or that he hasn’t kissed a girl in ages. Or that he secretly longs to “do” Jessica the cheerleader.

To celebrate the arrival of Stephenie Meyer’s vision to movie theaters, we present our most recent and most revealing interview with one of the newly minted Sexiest Men Alive. To some, he’s RPattz. To others, he’s Spunk Ransom. But to true Twilighters, he’ll always be the most charmingly self-deprecating and immensely talented vampire we’d ever want to watch on the big screen.

MTV: You were a big hit with the crowd at the “Spoilers” taping. When you told the audience to “shut up,” they loved it.

Robert Pattinson: [Laughs.] Good!

11 days left…

At Saturday’s “Twilight” extravaganza — otherwise known as a press junket — I was able to glean a few more tidbits about Robert Pattinson. Cheers!

Asked what he misses most about his pre-fame life, Rob said he already misses getting to play his music live: “I used to love playing live at open mic nights. It’d be cathartic. I mean it was really key for me,” he explained. Now that a few of his performances have been captured on YouTube, however, he’s a lot less keen to take the stage. In fact, he’s pretty sad about it. “I think, ‘Wow, I just lost a huge chunk of my life.’ ”
