The Twilight Saga is a series of five romancefantasy films from Summit Entertainment based on the four novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. The films star Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. The series has grossed over $3.3 billion in worldwide receipts. The first installment, Twilight, was released on November 21, 2008.[1] The second installment, New Moon, followed on November 20, 2009, breaking box office records as the biggest midnight screening and opening day in history, grossing an estimated $72.7 million.[2] The third installment, Eclipse, was released on June 30, 2010,[3] and was the first Twilight film to be released in IMAX.[4]
The series was in development since 2004 at Paramount Pictures, during which time a screen adaptation of Twilight that differed significantly from the novel was written.[5][6] Three years later, Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the film. After Twilight grossed $35.7 million on its opening day,[7] Summit Entertainment announced they would begin production on New Moon; they had acquired the rights to the remaining novels earlier that same month.[8] A two-part adaptation of Breaking Dawn began shooting in November 2010 with release dates of November 18, 2011, and November 16, 2012, respectively.[9][10][11]

Development[edit]
Twilight was in development for approximately three years at Paramount Pictures's MTV Films, during which time a screen adaptation differing significantly from the novel was written.[5][6] For example, the script transformed Bella into a star athlete. Stephenie Meyer stated that there was some debate in allowing the movie to be made because of the negative or positive outcome of the movie compared to the book, 'They could have put that [earlier] movie out, called it something else, and no one would have known it was Twilight!' The idea of seeing a scene converted correctly, specifically the meadow scene, convinced Meyer to sell the rights. In seeing the script, she was frightened that she had made the wrong decision. When Summit Entertainment reinvented itself as a full-service studio in April 2007, it successfully acquired the rights to the novel. Erik Feig, President of Production at Summit Entertainment, guaranteed a close adaptation to the book.[12] The company perceived the film as an opportunity to launch a franchise based on the success of Meyer's book and its sequels.[13][14] Meyer felt that Summit was open to letting her be a part of the film. Catherine Hardwicke was hired to direct the film, and soon afterward, Melissa Rosenberg was selected to be the film's structural base as the writer of the film.[15]
Rosenberg developed an outline by the end of August and collaborated with Hardwicke on writing the screenplay during the following month. 'She was a great sounding board and had all sorts of brilliant ideas.... I'd finish off scenes and send them to her, and get back her notes.'[16] Because of the impending WGA strike, Rosenberg worked full-time to finish the screenplay before October 31.[16] In adapting the novel for the screen, she 'had to condense a great deal.' Some characters were left out, and others were combined.[17] '[O]ur intent all along was to stay true to the book,' Rosenberg explained, 'and it has to do less with adapting it word for word and more with making sure the characters' arcs and emotional journeys are the same.'[18] Hardwicke suggested the use of voice over to convey the protagonist's internal dialogue,[16] since the novel is told from Bella's point of view; and she sketched some of the storyboards during pre-production.[19]
Meyer, the author, and Hardwicke, the director, had a close relationship while developing Twilight. Hardwicke wanted to embrace the experience and make the characters in the books come to life. She would call Meyer after changing a scene slightly, which surprised the author because, 'I've heard the stories...I know it's not normally like that when you adapt a book.' Meyer, a natural pessimist, was waiting for the worst but, instead, called her experience in the book's film adaptation 'the best I could have hoped for.'[5][6]
Originally scheduled for release in December 2008, Twilight was moved to a worldwide release of November 21, 2008, after Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moved from a November 2008 release to being released in July 2009.[1]
Casting[edit]
Kristen Stewart was on the set of Adventureland when Hardwicke visited her for an informal screen test, which 'captivated' the director.[5] Hardwicke did not initially choose Robert Pattinson for the role of Edward Cullen; but, after an audition at her home with Stewart, he was selected.[5] Meyer allowed Pattinson to view a manuscript of the unfinished Midnight Sun, which chronicles the events in Twilight from Edward's point of view.[20][21] Meyer was 'excited' and 'ecstatic' in response to the casting of the two main characters.[22] She had expressed interest in having Emily Browning and Henry Cavill cast as Bella and Edward, respectively, prior to pre-production.[23]
Peter Facinelli was not originally cast as Carlisle Cullen: '[Hardwicke] liked [him], but there was another actor that the studio was pushing for.'[24] For unknown reasons, that actor was not able to play the part, and Facinelli was selected in his place.[24] The choice of Ashley Greene to portray Alice Cullen was criticized by some fans because Greene is 7 inches (18 cm) taller than her character as described in the novel. Meyer said that Rachael Leigh Cook resembled her vision of Alice.[25]Nikki Reed had previously worked with Hardwicke on the successful Thirteen (2003), which they co-wrote, and Lords of Dogtown (2005).
Kellan Lutz was in Africa, shooting the HBOminiseriesGeneration Kill, when the auditions for the character of Emmett Cullen were conducted. The role had already been cast by the time the HBO production ended in December 2007, but the selected actor 'fell through'. Lutz subsequently auditioned and was flown to Oregon, where Hardwicke personally chose him.[26]
Rachelle Lefèvre wanted a role in the film because Hardwicke was director; she saw 'the potential to explore a character, hopefully, over three films'; and she wanted to portray a vampire.[27] '[She] thought that vampires were basically the best metaphor for human anxiety and questions about being alive.'[27]Christian Serratos initially auditioned for Jessica Stanley, but she 'fell totally in love with Angela' after reading the books and took advantage of a later opportunity to audition for Angela Weber.[28] The role of Jessica Stanley went to Anna Kendrick, who got the part after two mix-and-match auditions with various actors.[29]
Because of major physical changes that occur in the character of Jacob Black between Twilight and New Moon, director Chris Weitz considered replacing Taylor Lautner in the sequel with an actor who could more accurately portray 'the new, larger Jacob Black.'[30] Trying to keep the role, Lautner worked out extensively and put on 30 lbs.[31] In January 2009, Weitz and Summit Entertainment announced that Lautner would continue as Jacob in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.[32]
Twilight author Stephenie Meyer[6]
In late March 2009, Summit Entertainment released a list of the actors who would be portraying the 'wolf pack' alongside Lautner. The casting for the rest of the Quileute people was headed by casting director Rene Haynes, who has worked on films with large American Indian casts, such as Dances with Wolves and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.[33]
In mid-2009, it was announced that Bryce Dallas Howard would be replacing Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria for the third Twilight film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Summit Entertainment attributed the change to scheduling conflicts. Lefevre said she was 'stunned' and 'greatly saddened' by the decision.[34]Jodelle Ferland was cast as the newly turned vampire, Bree.[35] Other new cast members for the third film include Xavier Samuel as Riley,[36]Jack Huston as Royce King II,[37]Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria,[38] Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater,[35] and BooBoo Stewart as Seth Clearwater.[35]
Production[edit]
Principal photography for Twilight took 44 days,[39] after more than a week of rehearsals,[40] and completed on May 2, 2008.[41] Similar to her directorial debut Thirteen, Hardwicke opted for an extensive use of hand-held cinematography to make the film 'feel real'.[24][42] Meyer visited the production set three times, and was consulted on different aspects of the story;[43] she also has a brief cameo in the film.[44] To make their bodily movements more elegant, and to get used to their characters' fighting styles, the cast playing vampires participated in rehearsals with a dance choreographer and observed the physicality of different panthera.[24][25][45] Instead of shooting at Forks High School itself, scenes taking place at the school were filmed at Kalama High School[46] and Madison High School.[47] Other scenes were also filmed in St. Helens, Oregon,[48] and Hardwicke conducted some reshooting in Pasadena, California, in August.[39][49]
In early November 2008, Summit announced that they had obtained the rights to the remaining books in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.[8] On November 22, 2008, one day after the theatrical release of Twilight, Summit confirmed that they would begin working on New Moon. Melissa Rosenberg had been working on adapting the novel prior to Twilight's release[50] and handed in the draft for New Moon during Twilight's opening weekend in November 2008.[51]
In early December 2008, it was announced that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke would not be returning to direct the sequel. Hardwicke cited time restrictions as the reason behind her leaving the project.[52] Instead, Chris Weitz, director of The Golden Compass and co-director of American Pie, was hired to direct The Twilight Saga: New Moon.[53] Filming for New Moon began in Vancouver in late March 2009,[54][55] and in Montepulciano, Italy, in late May 2009.[56][57]
In early 2009, before the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Summit confirmed that they would begin production on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Since Weitz would be in post-production for New Moon when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse began shooting, he would not be directing the third film.[58][59] Instead, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was helmed by director David Slade, with Melissa Rosenberg returning as screenwriter.[60] Filming began on August 17, 2009 at Vancouver Film Studios[61] and finished in late October, with post-production beginning early the following month.[62] In April 2010, it was revealed that re-shoots of the film were needed. Slade, who previously said he would not be around for them, was seen, along with Stephenie Meyer, on set. The three main stars were also present.[63]
Wyck Godfrey, producer of the previous films in the series, stated in mid-2009 that they had every intention to make the film version of Breaking Dawn.[64] Following months of speculation and cast rumors,[9][65] it was officially announced on April 28, 2010, that Academy Award winnerBill Condon, who directed Gods and Monsters and Dreamgirls, would direct Breaking Dawn; producing the film will be Wyck Godfrey, Karen Rosenfelt, and author Stephenie Meyer. 'I'm very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind book – and we're hoping to create an equally unique cinematic experience,' said Bill Condon. A November 18, 2011 release date has been set for the first part, while the second is scheduled for release on November 16, 2012.[11][66][67] Following that announcement, Summit officially confirmed that a two-part adaption of the fourth book would start production in the fall on June 11, 2010.[68] With this announcement, it was made clear that all major actors, including the three lead roles, the Cullen family, and Charlie Swan, would return for both parts.[68]Bill Condon was also confirmed to direct both parts.[68]
In order to keep the budget on both parts of Breaking Dawn reasonable, which would be substantially greater than the previous instalments in the series, filming in Louisiana was also negotiated, providing larger tax credits for the studio to benefit from.[10]

Critical response[edit]
While The Twilight Saga has been successful at the box office, critical reception of the films was mixed.
New York Press critic Armond White called Twilight 'a genuine pop classic',[110] and praised Hardwicke for turning 'Meyer's book series into a Brontë-esque vision'.[111]USA Today gave the film two out of four stars and Claudia Puig wrote: 'Meyer is said to have been involved in the production of Twilight, but her novel was substantially more absorbing than the unintentionally funny and quickly forgettable film.'[112]
Robert Ignizio of the Cleveland Scene described The Twilight Saga: New Moon as an 'entertaining fantasy', and noted that it 'has a stronger visual look [than Twilight] and does a better job with its action scenes while still keeping the focus on the central love triangle.'[113] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post gave the film two and half stars out of four, praised Kristen Stewart's performance in the film and wrote: 'Despite melodrama that, at times, is enough to induce diabetes, there's enough wolf whistle in this sexy, scary romp to please anyone.'[114] The Seattle Post-Intelligencer gave the film a 'B' grading and said, 'the movie looks tremendous, the dialogue works, there are numerous well placed jokes, the acting is on point.'[115] Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle responded with a more mixed review, stating, '[E]xpect this film to satisfy its fans. Everybody else, get ready for a bizarre soap opera/pageant, consisting of a succession of static scenes with characters loping into the frame to announce exactly what they're thinking.'[116]Roger Ebert gave the film 1 star out of 4 and said that it 'takes the tepid achievement of Twilight, guts it, and leaves it for undead.'[117] The release of the movie has also inspired feminist criticism, with Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly making light of the claim that Edward Cullen is little better than a stalker.[118] In any case, the influx of female viewers into the theaters indicates the increasing importance of the female demographic in dictating Hollywood's tastes.[119]
The Hollywood Reporter posted a positive review of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, saying the film 'nails it'.[120]Variety reports that the film 'finally feels more like the blockbuster this top-earning franchise deserves'.[121] One review stated the film was the best in The Twilight Saga so far, acknowledging that, 'The person who should be worried is Bill Condon, the director tapped for the two-part finale, Breaking Dawn. He's got a real challenge to make movies as good as Eclipse.'[122]A.O. Scott of The New York Times praised David Slade's ability to make an entertaining film, calling it funny and better than its predecessors, but pointed out the acting hasn't improved much.[123]
A more negative review said that while 'Eclipse restores some of the energy New Moon zapped out of the franchise and has enough quality performances to keep it involving', the film 'isn't quite the adrenaline-charged game-changer for love story haters that its marketing might lead you to believe. The majority of the 'action' remains protracted and not especially scintillating should-we-or-shouldn't-we conversations between the central triangle.'[124] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times gave the film a more positive review than for the first two films in the saga, but still felt the movie was a constant, unclever conversation between the three main characters. He criticized the 'gazes' both Edward and Jacob give Bella throughout the movie, and noted that the mountain range that appears in the film looks 'like landscapes painted by that guy on TV who shows you how to paint stuff like that.' He also predicted that a lack of understanding for the film series in general would not bode well with the audience, stating, 'I doubt anyone not intimately familiar with the earlier installments could make head or tails of the opening scenes.' He gave the film 2 stars out of 4.[125]
Breaking Dawn – Part 1 received mostly negative reviews from critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 24% of critics (of the 195 counted reviews) gave the film a positive review, and the site's consensus reads 'Slow, joyless and loaded with unintentionally humorous moments, Breaking Dawn Part 1 may satisfy the Twilight faithful, but it's strictly for fans of the franchise'.[126]Part 2 had a mixed critical reception but was much more favorable than Part 1.[127] Bruce Diones of New Yorkers gave the film a positive review, citing 'A feast of ripe dialogue and bloodsucking action'.[citation needed] Richard Roeper said that 'The fifth and final entry in the historically successful Twilight franchise is the most self-aware and in some ways the most entertaining', giving it a grade C+[128]

Twilight in popular culture[edit]
The 2010 Portuguese teen series Lua Vermelha (Red Moon) had a similar premise of vampire romance but differed in the story. A parody film released that same year titled, Vampires Suck spoofed the film series. A television show within the canon of Canadian teen vampire film My Babysitter's a Vampire and the television series sequel called Dusk is a parody of Twilight.
The 2012 film Breaking Wind (parodying the title of Breaking Dawn, but parodying the whole film series), directed by Craig Moss (best known for The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It), is also a spoof of the films and a parody version of Breaking Dawn Part – 1.[148] The animated movie Hotel Transylvania was released the same year, and has a scene inspired by Twilight.[149][150]
The 2013 Filipino comedysitcom entitled My Daddy is a Vampire resembled some Twilight scenes.[151]

Plot[edit]
In Seattle, not far from Forks, Victoria still seeks vengeance on Bella for James’s death. Learning that Laurent is killed by wolves and to replace him and James, she attacks and bites Riley Biers in order to begin creating an army of newborns, who are many times stronger during their first few months than older vampires. Back in Forks, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan resume their relationship, and discuss the complications of becoming a vampire. At eighteen years old, one year older than Edward was when he became a vampire, Bella dislikes the idea of marrying so young, though Edward refuses to turn her into a vampire until they are married, his argument being that she should have a normal, human life. While Bella's father, Charlie Swan, investigates the disappearance of Riley Biers, Edward suspects his disappearance was caused by Victoria and her newborn's army, furthering his suspicions of Riley Biers' intrusion into Bella's bedroom to steal her red blouse.
Bella insists that Jacob Black and the rest of the wolf pack would never harm her. Bella wants to go to Jacob's home, even though Edward expresses his dislike of Jacob and concern for her safety, but she returns unharmed. During one of her visits, Jacob confesses that he is in love with Bella, and forcefully kisses her. Furious, she punches him and sprains her hand, and Edward later threatens Jacob and tells him to only kiss her if she asks him to. Bella even revokes the invitations of Jacob and his pack members to her graduation party at the Cullen house, but when Jacob apologizes for his behavior, she forgives him and lets him and the wolf pack attend the party.
Meanwhile, Alice sees a vision that the newborn army will attack Forks within the week, led by Riley Biers. Jacob, accompanied by Quil and Embry, overhear this, which leads to an alliance between the Cullens and wolf pack. Later, the Cullens and the wolves agree to a meeting place and time to train and discuss strategy against the powerful newborns. During their training Jasper explains to Bella that he was a Major in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, and he was created by a vampire named Maria to control a newborn army. He eventually realized that Maria used him to fulfill her own ambitions. He didn't know there was another way until he met Alice and joined the Cullens. Bella sees the true bond between a mated vampire pair and begins to understand Jasper better. Despite her reluctance to marry young, Bella realizes that spending eternity with Edward is more important to her than anything else and accepts his marriage proposal, along with his late mother's engagement ring. Edward and Bella camp in the mountains to hide Bella from the bloodthirsty newborns. During the night, Bella overhears a conversation between Edward and Jacob, in which they temporarily put aside their hatred towards each other. In the morning, Jacob overhears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and is furious. Bella desperately asks Jacob to kiss her, and she realizes that she loves him. Edward learns about the kiss but is not upset, because Bella says she loves him more than Jacob.
When Victoria appears, Edward kills her while Seth kills Riley. The Cullens and the wolves, meanwhile, destroy her 'army', though Jacob is injured saving Leah from a newborn. Several members of the vampire overlords, the Volturi, arrive to deal with the newborn army, and are surprised the Cullens weren't killed. They also see that the Cullens are guarding the newborn, Bree Tanner, who had refused to fight and surrendered to Carlisle. Jane briefly tortures Bree to get information, then has Felix kill her, despite the Cullens' efforts to spare her. Carlisle treats Jacob at his home, and Bella visits him to tell him that even though she loves him, she has chosen Edward. Devastated by her choice, Jacob reluctantly agrees not to come between her and Edward.
Bella and Edward go to the meadow, where she tells him she has decided to do things his way: Get married, have a normal honeymoon, then be transformed into a vampire. She also explains that she never has been normal and never will be, that she's felt out of place her entire life, but when she is in Edward's world she feels stronger and complete. At the end of the story, they know they need to tell Charlie about their engagement, for which Bella is happy Edward is 'bulletproof.'

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In early November 2008, Summit announced that they had obtained the rights to the remaining books in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.[24] In February 2009, Summit confirmed that they would begin working on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. On the same day, it was announced that since New Moon director Chris Weitz would be in post-production for New Moon when Eclipse began shooting, he would not be directing the third film.[25][26] Instead, the film would be helmed by director David Slade, with Melissa Rosenberg returning as screenwriter. David Slade dove right into the project, interviewing cast members individually between two and three times to discuss characters and the plot.[27]
Casting[edit]
Summit Entertainment revealed that they would replace Rachelle Lefevre, who played an evil vampire named Victoria, with Bryce Dallas Howard in late July 2009. They attributed the change to scheduling conflicts, and Lefevre responded by saying she was 'stunned' and 'greatly saddened' by the decision.[28] Howard had previously rejected the role of Victoria as 'too small of a part' when she was approached to play her in Twilight.[29]
Silent Hill's Jodelle Ferland was cast as the newly turned vampire, Bree Tanner.[30] Other new cast members include Xavier Samuel as Riley,[31]Jack Huston as Royce King II,[32]Catalina Sandino Moreno as Maria, Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater, and Boo Boo Stewart as Seth Clearwater.[30]
Actors who auditioned for the various roles were not given a script to work from. Instead, actress Kirsten Prout mentioned, 'they made the scenes exact transcripts from the book… They didn't give the screenplay out. So, the audition side was just reading a page of Twilight and reading the lines that were interspersed between the descriptions.'[33]
Filming and post-production[edit]
Principal photography for Eclipse began on August 17, 2009, at Vancouver Film Studios.[7][34] On August 29, photos captured Kristen Stewart, Billy Burke, and other principal actors, filming a scene with graduation caps and gowns.[35] September 2 brought Xavier Samuel together with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson filming at a soundstage for scenes at Bella's house.[36] Director David Slade stated that they filmed a scene with a tent on September 13.[37] He also said that they filmed a kiss between Jacob and Bella on September 17.[38] Filming wrapped up on October 29, 2009, while post-production began in late November.[8] Slade published multiple updates on his Twitter account proclaiming that editing was going well.[39] He said the 'story and the way [they] approached the film calls for a more realistic approach.'[40] In April 2010, it was revealed that reshoots to the film were needed. Both Slade and Stephenie Meyer were present at the shoot along with the three main stars.[41]
In January 2010, an early draft of the film's script was leaked on the Internet.[42] The script presumably belonged to star Jackson Rathbone, as his name was watermarked across each page.[42]

Music[edit]
The score for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was composed by Howard Shore, who composed the scores for such films as The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Aviator.[43] The film's soundtrack was released on June 8, 2010, by Atlantic Records in conjunction with music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas' Chop Shop label.[44] The lead single from the soundtrack is 'Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)', performed by the British band Muse.[45]
On May 11, 2010, MySpace announced that the full Eclipse soundtrack listing would be unveiled starting at 8 a.m. the following morning every half-hour, totaling six hours.[46] The album debuted at #2 on Billboard 200.[47]
Distribution[edit]
Marketing[edit]
On November 5, 2009, the American Film Market revealed the first poster for Eclipse.[48] In late February 2010, Summit Entertainment announced that the first trailer would be attached to the studio's own film, Remember Me, which also stars Robert Pattinson. On March 10, 2010, a 10-second preview of the trailer was released online,[49] followed by the release of the full trailer the next day.[50] The trailer's release coincided with the launching of the film's official website. On March 19, 2010, The Twilight Saga: New Moon was released on DVD and Blu-ray; the Walmart Ultimate Fan Edition includes a 7-minute first look at Eclipse.[51] On March 23, the second poster for the film was released.[52] The final Eclipse trailer debuted on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and in promotion for the movie, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Dakota Fanning made a guest appearance on the show May 13; the audience also viewed a version of the film.[53] On June 6, 2010, a sneak peek of the film was shown at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards; that same week, more clips and TV spots were released also.[54]
In order to tie in the lunar eclipse on June 26, 2010, Summit Entertainment hosted screenings of the first two films in The Twilight Saga film series in twelve cities throughout the United States. The event was streamed live from Philadelphia and San Diego, and included cast member appearances and special previews of Eclipse.[55]
Nordstrom and Summit Entertainment joined together to sell a fashion collection inspired by the film, as was done for the previous installment. Created by Awake Inc., the collection is based on Ashley Greene's character, Alice, and Kristen Stewart's character, Bella. The Eclipse collection became available on June 4, 2010.[56] In a similar style to its New Moon marketing, Burger King started promoting the film on Monday, June 21, 2010. Their promotion heavily focuses on the 'Team Jacob vs. Team Edward' aspect of the film.[57]
Release[edit]
Tickets for Eclipse went on sale on various online movie ticket sellers on Friday, May 14, 2010.[58] The official red carpet premiere for the film was held on June 24, 2010, at the Los Angeles Nokia Theatre.[59][60] Fans had the option of lining up starting on June 21, 2010, at the Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles before changing location on June 23.[61] An official United Kingdom premiere was held in Leicester Square, London on July 1, 2010. However, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner were not present.[62]
Eclipse opened in 4,416 theaters and 193 IMAX screens. With that, early predictions forecasted the film will gross anywhere from $150 million to $180 million within its first six days of release, putting the record set by The Twilight Saga: New Moon in danger of being broken.[63][64]Eclipse accounted for 82 percent of Fandango's online ticket sales, reaching the top five on May 14, 2010.[citation needed]MovieTickets.com stated that Eclipse was the top advance ticket seller on its site, with more than 50 percent of daily ticket sales.[65] The film was the top advance ticket seller as of June 2010.[66] Early ticket sales for the film also have broken records for Gold Class Cinemas, where more than 8,500 Twilight fans have reserved tickets; the Fairview, Texas location sold out their showings of Eclipse for June 30.[67]
The film was re-released into theaters on September 13, 2010 in recognition of lead character Bella Swan's birthday.[68]
Home media[edit]
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was released on DVD in the United States on December 4, 2010. The two-disc special-edition DVD and Blu-ray discs include special features such as: eight deleted and extended scenes, music videos by Muse and Metric from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and commentaries by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, Stephenie Meyer and Wyck Geoffery.[69] It was released on December 1, 2010 in New Zealand and Australia.

Box office[edit]
Eclipse set a new record for the biggest midnight opening in the United States and Canada in box office history, grossing an estimated $30.1 million in over 4,000 theaters.[10] The record was formerly held by the previous film New Moon with $26.3 million in 3,514 theaters.[10] It held the record until summer 2011, when it was broken by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, which made $43.5 million.[72]Eclipse also had the highest midnight gross of the franchise until it was topped in November 2011 by its successor Breaking Dawn – Part 1 ($30.3 million).[73] The movie also surpassed Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in total grosses for a midnight screening in IMAX. Eclipse garnered more than $1 million at 192 theaters, while Revenge of the Fallen earned $959,000,[74] until it was beaten five months later by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 with $1.4 million.[75] The film grossed $68.5 million on its opening day in the United States and Canada, becoming the biggest single-day Wednesday opening over Revenge of the Fallen's $62 million,[76] and the third-biggest single-day opening ever at the time.[12] As of 2011, the film has the third-highest opening-day gross of the series behind New Moon ($72.7 million) and Breaking Dawn – Part 1 ($72.0 million).[77] Furthermore, the film earned $9 million at various IMAX locations during its first week.[78]
After six days of release in the U.S. and Canada, the film ended Independence Day with a total of $176.4 million, including $64.8 million during its first weekend.[79] In its second weekend, the film fell 51%, a better standing than its predecessors, grossing an estimated $31.7 million.[80]
The film opened overseas with $16.2 million, beating records set by the film's predecessor in Russia with an estimated $3.9 million (since surpassed by Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which earned $5 million), in Italy with an estimated $3.1 million, in the Philippines grossing $1.2 million, and in Belgium, where it grossed an estimated $1.1 million.

Critical response[edit]
Reviews for the film were mixed, but more favorable than New Moon. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 48% based on 241 reviews, with an average rating of 5.44/10. The website's critical consensus reads, 'Stuffed with characters and overly reliant on uninspired dialogue, Eclipse won't win The Twilight Saga many new converts, despite an improved blend of romance and action fantasy.'[87] Review aggregation website Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 reviews from film critics, the film holds a rating score of 58/100 based on 38 reviews, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.[88]
The Hollywood Reporter posted a positive review of Eclipse, saying the film 'nails it'.[89] Peter Debruge of Variety reports that the film 'finally feels more like the blockbuster this top-earning franchise deserves'.[90] Rick Bentley of McClatchy Newspapers stated the film was the best in The Twilight Saga so far, suggesting that, 'The person who should be worried is Bill Condon, the director tapped for the two-part finale, Breaking Dawn. He's got a real challenge to make movies as good as Eclipse.'[91]The New York Times'A. O. Scott praised David Slade's ability to make an entertaining film, calling it funny and better than its predecessors, but wrote that the acting has not improved much.[92] Giving the film 4.5 out of 5 stars, Betsey Sharkey from the Los Angeles Times praised David Slade's method of blending his previous works to form a funny movie. She stated, 'Eclipse eclipse[s] its predecessors.'[93] The film was also listed in 49th place by Moviefone on its list of the 50 best movies of 2010.[94]
Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars, stating, 'The dullness of the performances really stands out when somebody like Bryce Dallas Howard, or Anna Kendrick turn up and liven up their scenes.' While calling the film 'too chatty and too long', he did compliment David Slade's directing and noted that the movie will please the fans.[95] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, stating that David Slade's pacing is 'everything like molasses running uphill'. He also criticized the characters, the actors portraying them, the big close-ups of hand-held devices, and called Howard Shore's score 'gunk'.[96] Wesley Morris from The Boston Globe stated, 'If the first two movies were 'get a room,' part three is 'get a therapist'. He said the second and third film 'repeat that discovery [in Twilight] without truly deepening it…the movies are interesting without ever being good.'[97]
A mixed review said that while 'Eclipse restores some of the energy New Moon zapped out of the franchise and has enough quality performances to keep it involving', the film 'isn't quite the adrenaline-charged game-changer for love story haters that its marketing might lead you to believe. The majority of the 'action' remains protracted and not especially scintillating should-we-or-shouldn't-we conversations between the central triangle.'[98]Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a more positive review than for the first two films in the saga, but still felt the movie was a constant, unclever conversation between the three main characters. He criticized the 'gazes' both Edward and Jacob give Bella throughout the movie, and noted that the mountain range that appears in the film looks 'like landscapes painted by that guy on TV who shows you how to paint stuff like that.' He also predicted that a lack of understanding for the film series in general would not bode well with the audience, stating, 'I doubt anyone not intimately familiar with the earlier installments could make head or tails of the opening scenes.' He gave the film 2 stars out of 4.[99] Steve Persall of the St. Peterburg Times called the movie 'just monstrously bad', and said, 'Eclipse leaves the sputtering story arc in idle, with only an uneasy truce between the vampire and werewolf clans amounting to anything new' and rating it grade C-.[100]The Guardian's columnist Peter Bradshaw gave the film a one-star rating in a review that lampooned Bella's continued abstinence, among other plot elements. Bradshaw, dubbing the series 'The epic of the unbroken duck', wrote that 'Bella Swan is starting to make Doris Day look like the nympho from hell', and concluded that 'it could be time to sharpen the wooden stake.'[101]
