Early estimates say Twilight sucked $7 million from last night's sold-out midnight screenings, and Fandango sends word this morning that tickets are selling online at a rate of five per second. Here to break it down for you now are the authorities at Fox and Friends, who have their own expertly tweaked statistics and observations to help put the phenomenon in its appropriate perspective. Did you know, for example, that 81% percent of all females — "better known as babes," we're told — plan to see the the film? Or that teen girls were turned on to the franchise by their mothers, not the other way around? Watch now for a veritable windfall of revelations, and years from now, remember where you were when Twilight finally got the fair and balanced treatment it deserved.
