Beach, surfing, bikinis, and a great white shark made up the most eye-catching elements of the "Shark Beach" premiere poster.
A huge poster hung from the roof of the Chief Stone Theater, covering all the walls above the main entrance.
Along the sides of the long red carpet, hundreds of young girls gathered, each one holding a poster of Blake Lively, adorned with various slogans.
"Female independence and strength!"
"Women supporting each other!"
"Girls helping girls!"
Blake Lively's role in the film had been marketed as an image of an independent woman.
As Blake Lively walked the red carpet, the girls let out piercing screams, one wave after another.
She excitedly approached the girls and signed autographs for them.
Strictly speaking, Blake Lively had been in the industry for ten years and this was her first time being the absolute lead actress in a film.
