Normally
when such blockbuster movies as Liongate’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking
Dawn- Park 2premieres, the movie stars eyes are all on the flashing
cameras and TV crews in the press box on the red carpet. But on this big night
(Nov. 12, 20212), at the Nokia Center L.A. Live Theater in downtown Los
Angeles, stars like Kristen
Stewart, Robert Pattinson,
Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli and other celebs
spent more time signing autographs and allowing fans to take their pictures
more than the media.
Photographers wait for the celebs to turnaround for photos.
The U-shape
setup is a trademark of Lionsgate’s style. Unlike The world famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA,
where fans traditionally line up across the street on Hollywood Blvd., LA Live at Nokia Center in downtown LA allows
the screaming fans to camp out for five days opposite of the media, but close
enough for autographs and digital cameras.The stars
know too well they wouldn’t be where they are today without the fans. Social
Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+ and other social networks
globally expose stars to a new fan base so when this epic finale premieres in
London and Europe later this week, fans already know what to expect. The much
anticipated teenage phenomenon film opens nationwide on Friday Nov. 16th.
Kristen Stewart, signs autographs takes allows her fans to take pictures as the media waits
Underneath
all those screaming fans are shout outs from cameramen in the press box,
“turnaround Kristen, over the shoulder Robert and look over here Taylor.” The advance of high speed access,
smart phones, Ipads and other handheld devices has change the traditional style
of covering celebrities at premiers. Fans first media second.The film
and teenage phenomenon premiere attracted 2,000 fans.This is the
epic finale of novelist Stephenie Meyer's four best sellers and this is
probably the most violent of the teenage phenomenon movie about the

please obsessive fans, who spend a week just to get in the front row for an
photo together with their idol stars.The fans are sure to love this mega hit that

book were actually split into projects “Breaking Dawn-Part 1 and this Friday “Break
