Less than a week before the release of the highly anticipated movie “Fifty Shades of Grey,” new scenes of the movie are being released for fans.

The movie has been doing very well in online sales but there was some friction off screen over the on-screen action.

The “Today Show” has been releasing clips, like the one above, from the upcoming film, directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson as the leads Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele respectively.

The short clips whet fans’ appetites for the movie, which is based on the racy book series written by E.L. James. In the above scene, Grey surprises Anastasia at the hardware store she works at and begins purchasing items that foreshadow his sexual proclivities, including rope and duct tape.

In another scene, found below, the couple appears in bed, before she learns about Grey’s fetish.

“Why'd you send me those books?" Anastasia asks.

"I thought I owed you an apology," he offers.

"For what?"

"For letting you believe that I—listen to me, I don't do romance," says Christian empathically. "My tastes are very... singular. You wouldn't understand,” he explains.

"Enlighten me then,” Anastasia answers, in a daring but also coy manner.

The film has gathered a lot of success in sales recently, according to Deadline, particularly in the South and Midwest. Over a four-day period, the movie is slated to make around $60 million in online ticket sales, a number expected to jump on Valentine’s Day.

Many states, especially in the South, account for the high sales. Fandango reports show times starting on Thursday Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. through Valentine’s Day weekend are sold out in cities as diverse as San Diego to Tupelo, Mississippi.

However, this is thanks to the fact that movie has an R rating. Had it been NC-17, the audience could have been much smaller. Director Taylor-Johnson battled with writer E.L. James over the movie’s sex scenes.

“It was difficult, I’m not going to lie,” Taylor-Johnson told Porter Magazine, according to Page Six.

“We definitely fought, but they were creative fights, and we would resolve them. We would have proper on-set ‘barneys,’ and I’m not confrontational, but it was about finding a way between the two of us, satisfying her vision of what she’d written as well as my need to visualize this person on-screen, but, you know, we got there.”

She also explained both she and Dornan had dominatrices on set for advice. There are 20 minutes of sex scenes out of the 100-minute film and, though the scenes are not as risqué as the book’s, they are new for Hollywood, Taylor-Johnson told Porter.
