“Carlisle’s ring! It has the Cullen crest, the symbol of the whole family, on it. I’d like to take it home and keep it in a drawer somewhere. Once, I couldn’t get it off my finger, so it did go home with me.”Robert Pattinson
“I keep everything from the set. I’ve stolen all of Edward’s clothes.”Elizabeth Reaser
“My original Esme bracelet. I’ve seen reproductions of it in stores, but I want to keep the one that I wear once we finish [filming]. It’s mine!”Taylor Lautner
“All my character wears is jean shorts, so I’ll have to go with those. That’s my only option!”Kellan Lutz
“Emmett’s Jeep! I’ve wanted it since we shot the first movie. I keep saying that, but nothing’s happened. I’m still waiting!”Xavier Samuel
“Vampires dress really well, so it would have to be Riley’s jacket. When you run it’s a bit flamboyant, but it looks good. I recommend running in those jackets.”
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” continued to seduce plenty of moviegoers Thursday as it took in an estimated $24.2 million, but it isn’t exerting quite as strong a gravitational pull as its predecessor “New Moon,” which took in $42.3 million on its second day of release in November.[Source: THR]
At the crowded multiplex, Thursday also saw the debut of Paramount’s mythic fantasy “The Last Airbender” in 3,169 locations, including 1,606 3D playdates. The PG-rated tale directed by M. Night Shyamalan took in $16.4 million, including the $3 million it scored at midnight screenings as it aims for number two status in the weekend listings.
Summit’s vampire- and werewolf-filled romance has collected about $92.8 million during its first two days of release in 4,416 theaters in North America, which compares to “Moon’s” first two-day gross of nearly $115 million.
But the two films are following slightly different release patterns. “Moon” opened on a Friday and pulled in $142.8 million over its first, three-day weekend.
“Eclipse” dawned with 12 a.m. screenings on Wednesday, establishing a new Wednesday opening boxoffice record of $68.5 million, including its monster $30 million midnight screenings. By the end of this holiday weekend, “Eclipse” is expected to have collected more than $150 million in its first six days.
Additionally, Summit reported that the movie attracted an estimated $16.2 million on its first day of release Wednesday in 21 foreign markets, including Italy, Brazil and Russia.
"LONDON, UK, 17 June 2010 – Shorts International will release the short movie The Summer House featuring The Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Robert Pattinson on July 13. The film will be available to download from iTunes Movie Stores in the US, Canada, UK, France, Ireland and Germany.[via Robert Pattinson Life]
It is Northern France and the swinging sixties are well underway. While mankind is landing on the moon, a young girl becomes a woman and learns that life on earth can prove to be just as alien as those famous first steps.
The Summer House pairs the emerging British starlet, Talulah Riley (St Trinian’s, The Boat That Rocked) alongside international idol, Robert Pattinson.
“We are delighted that Talulah and Robert’s intoxicating on-screen chemistry can now be seen on iTunes,” said The Summer House producer Anna MacDonald. “We are immensely proud of the film and are looking forward to seeing how audiences react.”
“This sweeping, romantic fable will be a Summer 2010 hit,” said Carter Pilcher, CEO of Short International. “From Keira Knightley to Mel Gibson, not to mention Beyonce and Lady Gaga, the stars are breaking in to short movies – now it’s time for Robert Pattinson and Talulah Riley to join the club.”
“I was 20 when I got cast in Twilight,” she says. “I was still working at this restaurant in L. A. called The Belmont Cafe, and I was reading the [Twilight] books while I was there. I freaked out when they told me I’d got the role, like, holy crap, this might change my life! I don’t feel like anyone could have expected this though. It’s insane and I still have to pinch myself. [Twilight] is that thing that everyone wants to be a part of, so I knew something was going to happen, but not this…”[Source: ASOS, AshGreene.org]
Hollywood is looking for box office fireworks over the July 4 weekend.Like the last two movies based on Stephenie Meyer’s fan favorite vampire books, “The Twilight Sage: Eclipse,” which debuted Wednesday, is set to draw hordes of young women this weekend and should generate about $180 million in the U.S. and Canada by the national holiday Monday.
In the case of “Twilight,” distributor Summit Entertainment has virtually guaranteed the third adaption of the bestselling books will rack up a huge box office tally in its first week by opening it this week. “Eclipse” grossed a record $30 million-plus in midnight shows Tuesday night. By Monday, most of the series’ fervent fans will likely see the movie at least once.
Last November’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” grossed $179 million in the U.S. and Canada by its sixth day and “Eclipse” will likely do at least that much by Monday and possibly as much as $200 million, said people who have seen prerelease surveys. The new film has an advantage over its predecessor given the holiday weekend, the fact that many students are off from school and can go to weekday matinees, and that it is the first “Twilight” movie to play on premium priced Imax screens.
As a result, total receipts for the new film will almost certainly be very front-loaded, with most of its revenue coming in the first week.
“It’s a compressed period during which we expect to do a whole bunch of business,” said Summit domestic distribution president Richard Fay.
It remains to be seen, however, whether “Eclipse” will significantly outperform the $297-million total gross of “New Moon,” or if it will simply be the same “Twilight” fans turning out once again.
