Tons of fans gathered in New York City on Monday to see One Direction at the premiere of their film This Is Us.

Photos caught the fans waiting on line and taking photos of the boys, who all wore white shirts and dark pants to the film premiere. The movie follows the five members - Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Harry Styles - and their rise to fame from U.K.'s The X Factor three years ago.

"Hopefully, they get to see, you know, our relationships within the group, who plays which role in the band, and just what we get up to in our spare time and why we're here in the first place," Malik told NY1 on the red carpet.

The group's music video director, Ben Winston, believes that fans will obtain the experience Malik referred to.

"I don't think you've ever had so much access to a band who are as big as this as you've ever seen," he told the news station. "We go home with their families. We see them backstage in dressing rooms. We see them on tour buses."

The movie's lead single, Best Song Ever, won the award for Best Song of The Summer at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. One Direction also showed off some acting skills when the song's video was released in July. In the clip, Horan and Tomlinson act as snobbish Hollywood executives while Malik plays a female assistant. Styles is a marketer and Payne is a choreographer named Leeroy. The clip has already garnered almost 90 million views on YouTube since its release last month.
