Robert Pattinson believes the 'Twilight Sage' movies has helped to prove women will go to the cinema by themselves.

Robert Pattinson thinks 'Twilight Saga' proved women go to the cinema.

The actor - who plays lead character Edward Cullen in the vampire franchise - believes Hollywood have learned to consider more stories thanks to the success of the series, which has so far taken $1.8 billion at the cinema.

He said: "It made people in the industry aware that women, just solely women, are a legitimate audience for movies, which is, in a strange sort of way, good for guys as well.

"I think the industry got convinced that the only people that would go to the cinema were teenage boys."

The British hunk has also revealed he would like to write a film at some point in the future, or edit one that is not looking so good.

He told TNT Magazine: "I'd like to write stuff. I'd really like to be a script doctor, just figuring out how to make a script that doesn't work, work!"
