While the movie Twilight is about a month away from being released in theaters, fans are starting to rally around the movie on Facebook, MySpace, and other social networks.  Since September 1, TVLoop’s Addicted to Twilight application has exploded from ~19K users to ~103k as of October 22.  That’s an astronomical growth of 444% in just over 50 days.  There are some other applications that have had triple digit growth rates in the same amount of time, but the next closest application in terms of raw number growth is Addicted to The Office with ~35K new members.

So what’s the story with Twilight?  For those of you not female and under the age of 20, Twilight is based on a vampire romance book series of the same name in which the main character, a teen girl, falls in love with a vampire.  The book series has had a cult-like following for the last 3 years with hundreds of fan sites, blogs, and forums dedicated providing passionate fans a place to be heard.  As a result of the early fan reactions, the highly anticipated movie is predicted to be a resounding success.  If the TVLoop numbers are any indication, Twilight is off to a great start.  The movie hits theaters on Nov 21, 2008.
