The stories truly offer something for everyone, and the period around the Thanksgiving weekend is such an opportunity for families and friends to make an event of going to the movies."

I take this as they are confident with the way the first film is heading. Good for them. The books are excellent, the movies should be too.

If Thanksgiving is the lucrative time they think it is, why are they releasing the first one in March? :P
