Fifty Shades Of Grey opened just in time for Valentine's Day weekend in Singapore, and boy, were the cinemas packed for a R21 movie.

Happening on Twitter for the past couple of days as news of the best-selling mommy porn novel-turned-movie being passed uncut by the censors was announced, the hashtag #SG50ShadesOfGrey has been trending like crazy.
