'Breaking Dawn' Set to Pack Theaters

The premiere of Stephenie Meyer's next installment of the Twilight series debuts Nov. 18th. Here is a list of show times from around the area.

Next weekend promises to be one of the biggest box office weekends of the year as girls of every age will finally witness in a moment they've awaited for some time.

The release of Breaking Dawn Part 1, the latest installment of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is the culmination of the union between the two love struck characters of Bella Swan and Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.

The book Breaking Dawn was released in 2008 and sold 1.3 million copies in a single day. It is the fourth and final novel of the Twilight series and is broken down into three sections. The adapted film is broken into two parts, part two of which is scheduled to release this time next year.

The previous movie in the series, Eclipse, grossed more than $300 million domestically and saw a reaction at the box office comparable to other series such as Harry Potter or Star Wars. A similar reaction is expected for next Friday's release of Breaking Dawn Part 1.

The film will debut at midnight of Nov. 18 in many theaters. With kids having school the next morning, many parents may opt to keep their kids at home and go on Friday night. Whether you're anxiously awaiting the premier and looking to get in line Thursday night for a midnight showing or prefer to wait until things settle down on Sunday, we've got you covered with a complete list of show times for the entire weekend.
