The fifth (and last) in this series of blockbuster movies, based on novels by Stephanie Meyer, is rated PG-13. It debuted Thursday night.
The Rave Motion Pictures Centreville 12 multiplex has 17 scheduled showings of "Breaking Dawn Part 2," on Friday, starting with a showing at 10 a.m. The schedule is similar Saturday. Did you see "Breaking Dawn Part 2" already? Let us know what you thought in the comments below our Cinema Siren review!
