The atmosphere at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City was heated despite the chilled temperatures, as fans emerged to say exactly what they loved about the movie, and its stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson.
The movie, adapted from the bestselling erotic novels by E.L. James, is set for release on Feb. 13th.
