They actually make something like $80 million each worldwide, was the number I saw today. And they cost maybe $20 million to make. And this one, people who hate Twilight'll go see it, and people who love it'll probably see it too. It's not a bad move at all financially. I just deeply resent that I'll have to see commercials for this when, as a friend pointed out, there are a hundred better parodies on YouTube.

If it's the same people who do the Scary Movies, then my 58 year old dad. He never misses them on tv.

Actually, I think at least the first couple of Scary Movies were different people. These are the Date Movie/Epic Movie people.

Seltzer and Friedberg did in fact, technically write a draft of the first movie, and as success has many fathers, Fox figured it couldn't hurt to approach them with a turkey-baster.
