The film is the fourth film in a series based on the books by Stephenie Meyer and features actors Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in starring roles.

Theater management said Thursday that tickets are on sale for the midnight show and that the theater has set aside two auditoriums so far, but is preparing to add more if necessary.

Tickets are $11.25 per person, with discounts given for anyone in the military ($9.25) or students with I.D. ($10.25).

The film is rated PG-13 for disturbing images, violence, sexuality/partial nudity, and some thematic elements.
