Is the Breaking Dawn Birth Scene Causing Seizures?

Breaking Dawn breaking dawn seizures 600x600 Is the Breaking Dawn Birth Scene Causing Seizures?  breaking dawn part 1
A man from California says he had a seizure while watching the birth scene in Breaking Dawn Part 1, leading him to pass out in the theater.
Brandon Gephart and Kelly Bauman said they were watching “Breaking Dawn: Part One” at a theater Friday night when Brandon sudden began convulsing during a graphic birthing scene.
Brandon said he doesn’t remember anything until he woke up on the theater floor, but Kelly said he was, “convulsing, snorting, trying to breathe.”
A man from Utah is reporting a similar experience-
The couple says one scene flashes bright light on the audience and the scene is incredibly graphic. That’s when the husband, who doesn’t want to be named for fear he could lose his job, says this stimulation made him pass out and his body shake.
“I didn’t really remember what happened after that I think I blacked out. According to her, I was shaking and mumbling different noises,” he said.
His wife was sitting by his side, “He started mumbling and he was blinking on and off with his eyes at that point. I was kneeling in front of him slapping his face,” she said.
Obviously many questions remain–are these reports accurate? Is the movie the cause? How widespread is the problem if it’s true?
Everyone should be able to enjoy the experience of this new addition to the Twiligt Saga, so let’s hope the movie is not at the heart of these claims, and everyone is safe no matter the cause.

Breaking Dawn Smashes Box Office: Tops Twilight, Eclipse, Pirates with Four New Records

We knew Breaking Dawn Part 1 would do well at the box office- just not this well! Here are the achievements so far.
The 3-day weekend gross was over $138M, making it the 5th-highest ever. The 2nd-highest last weekend was Happy Feet 2, which made $21M during the same period.
Breaking Dawn Joins 3-Day Weekend Hall of Fame

For comparison, Eclipse made $120,898,294 and Twilight made $69,637,740 during the first 3 days of release. But that’s not all!

Twilight Saga Tops November Movie History

The Twilight Saga now holds the top two spots for the top-grossing weekends in November ever, with New Moon and Breaking Dawn Part 1 at #1 and #2 respectively. #3 through #6 go to Harry Potter films, and #8 is the original Twilight.

Breaking Dawn Joins the $100 Million Club

Breaking Dawn Part 1 is one of only six movies that have ever made more than $100M in 2 days. Only five other films hold that honor-New Moon, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Spider Man 3, and The Dark Knight.

Twilight Saga Takes 3 of 5 Spots on 1-Day Total List

Three of the four Twilight Saga films now reside on the list of the highest-grossing movies during a 1-day period. Here are the new top five-
  1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II – $91,071,119
  2. The Twilight Saga: New Moon – $72,703,754
  3. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 – $71,642,526
  4. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse – $68,533,840
  5. The Dark Knight – $67,165,092

Twilight, Eclipse, New Moon & Breaking Dawn 5-Day Totals

Here are the US box-office totals for the first 5 days of release for The Twilight Saga films released so far:
  • Twilight: $80,165,620
  • New Moon: $164,674,318
  • Eclipse: $157,577,169
  • Breaking Dawn Part 1: $158,978,162

Breaking Dawn Worldwide Gross

If all these numbers aren’t enough to impress, don’t forget the rest of the world!
Internationally, Breaking Dawn Part 1 has already scored $144M overseas, making the 5-day total across the globe a jaw-dropping $302,978,162!

Twilight and Harry Potter

No matter the numbers, it’s clear the fans love the movie and that is what matters. But the numbers are fun to keep an eye on.
I wonder if Breaking Dawn Part 2 will be able to grab the top spot from Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part II next year? Note that Deathly Hallows I isn’t even in these lists, so perhaps the “Part 2″ has some pull.
What do you think about the numbers for Breaking Dawn Part 1 and what’s your prediction for Part 2? Let us know in the comments!
UPDATE: These numbers are particularly striking as Breaking Dawn Part 1 didn’t benefit from the higher ticket prices of 3D and IMAX like Deathly Hallows II– “with the exception of Eclipse, every Twilight film was released WITHOUT 3D and IMAX so to make that much without extra charges is amazing. Let it be known that New Moon and Breaking Dawn have the biggest opening ever for a non 3D or IMAX film as well!”
