Summit Entertainment, who shrewdly decided to split the fourth Twilight film into two parts, has now announced a release date for the 2nd and final part to their ultra-successful saga.

Interestingly, despite the fact the films are being shot simultaneously, the second part will be released nearly a year later on November 16th 2012.

The films are being directed by Academy Award winner Bill Condon and will star the returning Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke and the entire Cullen Family cast members.

The first part, which is currently being adaptated by Melissa Rosenberg, will hit theaters on November 18th 2011.

UPDATE (7/6/10): Eclipse has generated $176,382,220 million in its first 6 days of release, placing it 7th overall. It fell just shy of New Moon’s $178.8 million feat.

UPDATE (7/1/10): Including it’s midnight totals, Eclipse generated $68.5 million on Wednesday, its opening day of release. It’s the biggest Wednesday opening of all time and second overall, trailing New Moon’s $72.7 million opening.

According to Box Office Mojo, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has the widest opening release ever at 4,416 locations. It scored the largest opening for midnight showings with over $30 million which includes the IMAX midnight milestone of grossing in excess of $1 million at 192 venues.

According to Dark Horizons, via THR, Esq., that Summit still only has an option to do one film of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”. However, they are vigorously pursuing to split the final chapter into two films.

At this time, both Stephanie Meyer and director Bill Condon are locked down for two, but certain cast members are not. Their source say, however, that “This thing is gonna be two movies. With or without the cast intact.” Renegotiations are underway with the various stars holding out for money.

Fear not, Twi-hards, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are all getting big raises to return and the studio is said to be close to finalising agreements with them. Peter Facinelli and Billy Burke are also set to return as Edward and Bella’s fathers respectively. Read the rest of this entry »
