Robert Pattinson fans will. Twilight fans won't.

Does he think Twilight fans are actually going to watch this movie? 'Cause they sure don't come out for any other Pattinson motion pictures.

Amazing the amount of interest this movie gets and all in between while Cronenberg is trying to promote the actual film he will have in theaters a week from now, and it is all because of RPÂ´s level of fame, sure his fame is because of Twilight but his other films had done great considering that they were not as marketed as Twilight is.
If we speak about the Twilight fanbase, IÂ´m sorry they are not too smart, but the difference between Rob and any other of his costars is the there is a demographic within the Twilight fans that are older than the average teen, and they are actually fans of Rob as an actor and not just Rob as Edward, so that demographic will go see any of his other films as much as Twilight, that is the demographic that carried his other films so far, of course they are not hit like the saga, but how many movies out there with the context that Remember Me had or the one that Water for Elephant have, can make back three times their budget? Specially in a market where those kind of films, sometime donÂ´t get released or they hardly can make any money back.

Remember me made 3 times its budget and Water for Elephants made $117 million on $38million budget, so at least his movies are profitable, and both made their budgets back in domestic box office. How about The Rum Diary? I thought Johnny Depp was a big star.

Water for Elephants 58 domestic and 58 international. Based on a New York Times bestselling book with Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz also as leads. Remember Me 19 domestic and 36 international based on a spec script. Both PG-13 and opening on more than 2000 screens. Cosmopolis will be R with a limited release run. Mr. Cronenberg is deluding himself.

Okay, all you "RPattz" fans… I see you. So, considering his other movies' weak box office receipts, that means they're, like, 16 of you???

Exactly. As fans of Rob ofcourse we'll see, maybe the fans of Twilight or Stewart do not see, but rest assured Rob fans will see the movie Cosmopolis. We are very excited about Rob working on a film with a director like Cronenberg as well as Paul Giamanti, Binoche, Morton and actors others

Robert Pattinson's movies such as Remember Me and Water For Elephants have done better than any of the other actors from Twilight. So that point is void. People will go see Robert's movies. He has the it factor. You don't see people going to see Kristen's movies. The Runaways, The Yellow Handkerchief, Welcome to the Riley's, Adventureland all flopped, and they all had lots of promotion.

It doesn't take much for Twi-hards to be blown away given the level of 'acting' in that mess. In all seriousness though, I think this dude (Pattinson) gets the shitty end of the stick. He's actually a good actor who has been dragged down with source material. With the end of Twilight hopefully he can start doing good things. Pattinson, Stewart, Kendrick, Fanning, and the awesome Michael Sheen will do well. The rest of the Twilight 'actors'? Not so much LOL

Really looking forward to this movie. I saw 'A Dangerous Method' at TIFF and I thought it was decent, with good performances from the cast but it just didn't feel like a Cronenberg film. The storyline to this is more his kind of thing.

I've never seen any Twilight films so can't comment on R-Patz in those, but I've quite enjoyed his performances in other stuff. The supporting cast here is also very impressive, Paul Giamatti is amongst the finest on the planet, so too is Binoche and Morton.

I hope this goes to TIFF next year as you state.
