‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ Conquers The Box Office

Mark O. Estes — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 13:14:13 +0000

EW.com has announced that “Eclipse,” the third entry in the unstoppable “Twilight Saga” franchise, has smashed previous box office records in midnight showings. With a $30-million total from the more than 4,000 theaters that premiered it late Tuesday night, “Eclipse” has knocked its predecessor “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” from the number one spot. ‘”New Moon” bowed to $26.3 million last November and was considered then the highest-grossing midnight premiere ever, but “Eclipse” has taken that crown and didn’t just stop there.

The film also broke the record for the largest domestic opening ever in Hollywood history, with 4,408 theaters premiering the film to thousands of “Twilight” fans. Friday will add 29 more theaters to the tally, which solidifies its place in box office history for now.

Were you one of the millions and millions of fans who made this feat happen?

A Good Day for Twi-hards: “Dawn” of a Release Date

Nikki Michaels — Wed, 05 May 2010 15:51:02 +0000

Listen up, Twi-hards! This morning “Dawn”-ed with some important news for the “Twilight” world– the fourth installment of the movie franchise, “Breaking Dawn,” will be released on November 18, 2011, E! Online reports.

But, wait! Doesn’t “Eclipse” come out on June 30 of this summer? So we have to wait a year and a half for another dose of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner?! Unfortunately, yes. But the good news for fans of the books and movies is that “Breaking Dawn” will probably be well worth the wait.

With Oscar-nominated “Dreamgirls” director Bill Condon set to helm the final chapter in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire love story, the fourth and final film in the series surely won’t disappoint. Plus, Summit has yet to say whether or not “Dawn” will be split into two films, a move which many fans support because of the book’s complicated storyline and huge amount of important material.

We’ll let the tweets of the Twilighters tell you what’s up:

kristindoll breaking dawn: november 18, 2011. my day just got even better

monkeytail81 Breaking Dawn -Nov. 18, 2011. By then I will not care.

alfredojwill Omg omg release date for Twilight Breaking Dawn has ben set November 18 2011 yay!!!

brooke_byrne not really happy with the breaking dawn release date. 1) i will be in college for it which is a scary thought & 2) its SO far away!

“New Moon” Earns Record-Breaking Opening

Colleen Cusumano — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:06:45 +0000

The “New Moon” cast has plenty to howl about. The film opened this weekend and posted record-breaking sales giving “New Moon” the biggest fall opening in history. The celebration doesn’t stop there. EW.com reports the film, “grossed an astounding $140.7 million at the box office this weekend,” earning the movie “the third biggest three-day debut ever, according to early estimates from Hollywood.com Box Office.” “The Dark Knight” and “Spiderman 3″ hold the top two spots.

“New Moon” also toppled the success of the franchise’s first film “Twilight,” by “outright doubl[ing] Twilight’s opening weekend of $69.6 million.”

Sandra Bullock’s “The Blindside” also experienced success this weekend, earning “an estimated $34.5 million for second place.” It’s the best opening of Bullock’s career, beating the record she set just earlier this year with “The Proposal.”

Disaster movie “2012″ dropped “59 percent on its second weekend, taking in $26.5 million for $108.2 million total and third place.” The animated movie “Planet 51″ and “A Christmas Carol” took fourth and fifth place, respectively.

Twitter users reviewed the top films:

Twlight Saga’s “New Moon” Premiere Sets Records

Shari Weiss — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:50:20 +0000

When “New Moon,” the second film in the “Twlight Saga” series, premiered at midnight, it had already set records. According to EW.com, several online ticketing services reported selling more advance tickets than ever before, beating records previously set by monster box office films like “The Dark Knight,” “Harry Potter,” “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings.”

Accordingly, per GossipCop, the midnight grosses surpassed “Potter” and “Knight,” making “New Moon” the biggest midnight opening ever.

Tickets for the midnight showings began selling out early as September, with some theaters showing “Twilight” earlier in the evening fans could watch the two flicks back-to-back.

Fans were as excited as ever while non-fans remained turned off:

Upcoming “New Moon” Premiere Sparks Interviews with Stephanie Meyer, Cast

Sonja Whipp — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:18:04 +0000

In the spirit of the November 20 opening of “New Moon,” yesterday Stephanie Meyer gave her first and only interview to Oprah on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” EW.com reports. Meyer discussed how, as a stay-at-home mom of three, she had never even written a short story before penning the hit “Twilight” series. Meyer also revealed that her mother encouraged her to spice up her original ending in “New Moon.”

Before a commercial break, Oprah posed a question about a possible fifth “Twilight” book. When the show returned, however, Oprah never asked the question. A rep for the show commented that the question was cut for time because it is a live show.

“New Moon” stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner are featured on this week’s cover of Entertainment Weekly. They are currently filming “Eclipse,” the next “Twilight” novel to be adapted to the screen. In their interview with the magazine, they gave behind-the-scenes exclusive details about their experiences filming the “Twilight Saga.”

Tweeps reacted to this week’s Entertainment Weekly cover, Meyer’s interview and Oprah’s unanswered question about a possible fifth “Twilight” novel:

jerseygrl4lfe I am going to pick up the new EW this morning with R, K, T on the cover!!!!

KBellaCullen I got my EW Rob, Kristen, and Taylor cover in the mail today! Yay!

debussy88 WTF!? Oprah says that there MAY be a FIFTH BOOK for the TWILIGHT SAGA?! Stoopid commercial break. Grr.

KBellaCullen @BetOnAlice711 Steph needs to say yes for fifth Twilight book!

twilight85 off… twilight fans….. stephanie on oprah… new moon…. and is there a fifth twilight book?

pksfrk thinks they should just go ahead and rename EW “Twilight Weekly”. Seriously, ANOTHER cover story?!?

Lynnster45 Watched Oprah, was waiting for her to ask Stephanie about the fifth Twilight book but it never came up after the break. Bummer!!!!!

brooklynsmile @oprah so is there a fifth book in the Twilight series? You said that was going to be answered in the interview and it wasn’t.

djjoycie however, did anyone else notice Oprah was going to specifically ask the author of “Twilight” if she was writing a fifth book and suddenly…

Lisa_Dunn Um, @newmoonmovie, is it me or did Oprah fail to answer the question about “the fifth Twilight book?”

Ronibrasil Stephanie meyer on oprah and oprah is into my fave saga 6 days to new moon “you are my life now”

kspice75 Stephanie Meyer on Oprah online RT @EdwardsBeauty: Question answered: Will there be a fifth #Twilight book? http://bit.ly/1WWUHn

Taylor Swift Makes Kanye, Taylor Lautner Jokes on “SNL”

Shari Weiss — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:09:08 +0000

Singer Taylor Swift used her hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” to poke fun at her VMA fiasco with Kanye West and rumors that she’s dating “Twlight” star Taylor Lautner, EW.com reports.

During her opening monologue, Swift picked up a guitar and sang “Monologue Song (La La La),” where she said she wouldn’t “comment” on whether she’s “dating the werewolf from ‘Twlight’” but then mouthed “Hi Taylor” and blew a kiss. Shortly after, she sang “You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye” but said she wouldn’t since she had “security lining the stage.”

Swift also slipped in a few jibes towards her ex, Joe Jonas, reminding viewers that he broke up with her on the phone and reminding him that she’s “doing real well.”

The opener ended with Swift saying “We have a great show and Kanye West is NOT here.”

Tweeters sounded off on both the monologue and Swift’s performance throughout the rest of the show, as “SNL” and ‘Taylor Swift” sat on the Trending Topics list:

SaritaPagita How cute is taylor swift on snl? So cute! I’m girl crushing on her.

leahluvzFOB ah SNL is the best. Taylor Swift’s “monolog” was rly funny

apice3 Well SNL is a terrible show but Taylor Swift did a good job

HaleyMillfred SNL was all right tonight. Taylor Swift didn’t make it any special-er. I think Kanye should’ve came in and interrupted. XD

viiwords Taylor Swift is single handedly ruining SNL…

jbswiftcyrus I wish there had been more kanye and Joe jokes on SNL

heatherrrjonas watching @taylorswift13 on SNL. ;D -i freaking loved what she sang about Joe Jonas, and Taylor Lautner.

IMJ5000 Taylor swift sooooo dissed joe jonas on snl!! Lol!! And gave a shout out taylor lautner

TheClockSounds I wonder if tswift would of hosted snl if the whole kanye thing didn’t happen

HeyItsMani So that was my favorite episode ever of snl. Taylor swift was awesome. Still laughing at tht Joe Jonas & kanye west shoutout.
