Twilight Thursdays! Vol. 1, Issue 30

Eclipse surpasses New Moon & is poised to break the $300M (domestic) mark! Pro Networks does the math                         

 

For those comparing the films in The Twilight Saga, at this point in its release history (after 51 days) New Moon had taken in $290,277,863. Eclipse is now at $296,649,934. Both films hit the $250M mark on the 16th day. The total domestic gross for New Moon was $296,623,634 (after 132 days). Eclipse has now broken that total by $26,600 (after 51 days). The film is now within striking distance of the elusive $300M mark. It needs about $3.35M to get to that number. It took New Moon 21 more days to earn an additional $3.35M after its 51st day, and Eclipse is clearly doing better. On the other hand, New Moon was still in 1,167 theaters after 51 days while Eclipse drops to 557 ... Still, even after New Moon's theater count had dropped to 444 (after 63 days) it still went on to take in another $3.8M. Therefore, it should take no more than one more month for Eclipse to earn another $3.35M and pass $300M.
 
 
Speaking of New Moon, we've got a few small, but HQ stills!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You might even want to start planning some Halloween Eclipse DVD fun! It’s pure speculation, but is based on the history of the Twilight & New Moon releases, it could be true!
 
The street dates for Twilight and New Moon were both on day 121 of their theatrical runs (Saturdays). Following that line of thinking, Eclipse's 121st day will be October 28th, a Thursday. The following Saturday would be October 30th -- Halloween weekend. On the other hand, sources have told me that Summit is planning for a holiday season release -- some say November while others say Christmas time. {Pro Networks}
 
 
But it looks like Summit might lay the smack down on that rumor, along with a few others. Twilight Source received this email from Summit. Rumor control!
 
1) There is only one casting director working on THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN films right now – Deborah Zane. As of right now no local auditions are being held. If Deborah’s name is not attached to it in some form or another, it is not legitimate. She is also not putting out nationwide casting notices. Once again – as was the case with NEW MOON and ECLIPSE – any ads you see are completely false. She has set up an e-mail address specifically for casting inquiries (BreakingDawnCast@gmail.com).
 
2) Lexicon touched base regarding a rumor about Renesmee’s name changing in BREAKING DAWN. It is FALSE.
 
3) Twi Examiner asked about Riley’s appearance in BREAKING DAWN because it was listed on Xavier’s IMDb page. Riley will not appear in the BREAKING DAWN films. It is a rumor.
 
4) Also not confirmed is anything you have heard about the US release date of the ECLIPSE DVD. We have not announced it yet, so unless it is international and confirmed by an international distributor, it is a rumor.
 
I have to say I really love how Summit has been hands-on with the fandom. It means they’re actually paying attention to want fans are saying (good and bad) and will not allow fallacies to exploit them.
 
Bits of Breaking Dawn

Summit might not be filming in Rio as originally planned. Something scarier than vampires has made them think twice. 

However, due to a situation in which gang members held 35 guests hostage in the city's Intercontinental Hotel, and a subsequent shoot-out that left one person dead, the future of the film's production in Rio has reportedly been jeopardized.

RioFilme, a Brazilian film investment agency, said that Summit was discussing the issue with government officials. In a statement to RadarOnline.com, Summit insisted that no decision about abandoning production in the South American nation has been made.

"The possibility of filming portions of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' in Brazil has always been under consideration and we are continuing to scout locations within the country," the company said.

"If part of the filming of 'Dawn' comes rolling in Rio, will be in November/December. OK?" CEO Sergio Sa Leitao said in a message re-tweeted by the agency's Twitter account. "And nothing more can be said until we close." {MTV}

The Rio de Janeiro agency responsible for promoting movie production is attempting to convince the U.S.-based 'Twilight' production company to move ahead with plans to shoot scenes there, according to AFP. At stake: about $1 million the filming was expected to inject into the local economy.

The company apparently hadn't counted on the film's concept being so close to reality.

AFP says that Ancelmo Gois, a columnist with the main O Globo newspaper, says that "Rio's war" is causing untold damage to Rio's reputation. Rio is the host of the 2016 Olympic Games and part of the 2014 football World Cup. { USA Today}

the Web is already crawling with Twilight spoofs that are actually funny—and free—so don't get suckered in. 'Cause for those who do, reality bites—and so does Vampires.
 
Just as I suspected. YouTube is the best place for Twilight spoofery.

Movie Mistakes is a great website maintained by vigilantly detail oriented viewers that point out all the idiosyncrasies and flubs made from scene to scene and now they’ve gotten to Eclipse! Did you spot these mistakes?  

  • The newborns aren’t all “pretty” as vampires should be.
  •  In the scene where Bella takes off on the motorcycle with Jacob, Edward’s eyes are golden. When Edward shows up at Bella’s house later that evening, they are black. His thirst wouldn’t have become so apparent so quickly.
  • The Cullens are watching a news report about the violence in Seattle. It is night time in the report, and the reporter says “this is CNN live.”. Cut to the Cullens watching the newscast, and it is daylight out. Forks and Seattle are both in western Washington, it could not be night in one place and day in the other.
  •  In the scene where Alice & Charlie are talking on the steps outside Charlie’s house, they are standing still, but in the next shot they are walking down the steps
  • Just after Victoria has been killed, Edward goes over to Bella to bandage the cut she made on her arm, tying the fabric around her wrist. However, when Bella cut herself, it was on the inside of her elbow, not her wrist.
  •  In the last scene where Edward and Bella are sitting in the sunny field, Edward is not sparkling·         Just like in New Moon, Bella’s scar from James biting her is on the wrong side of her arm.

     

    ·         When Jacob’s carrying Bella through the woods, in some shots her left sleeve is quite far over her hand, but on others it’s further back by her wrist.

     

    ·         The bed scene with Bella and Edward: As he says, ‘It’s just one rule I wanna leave unbroken,’ someone or something moves into shot on the right-hand side, and it’s not Bella. In the next, shot you can see from where Edward is looking that she’s not in that position.

     

    ·         During the scene where Riley’s parents are talking to Charley in the police department, his picture starts out on top of the file, then later they are handing it to him like he has never seen it before.

     

    ·         When Bella’s talking to her dad on the sofa early in the movie, watch her right ear. Sometimes there’s hair covering it, sometimes it’s clear, and sometimes there’s a chunk of hair hanging in front of it.

     

    ·         At various times during the movie Bella’s hair is different (she is wearing a wig due to her hair being cut for her role in “The Runways”). You can notice it from the high angle when she walks to her truck the first time she goes to see Jacob, then various times during the movie her hair seems to be darker sometimes and her hairline moves as well.

     

    ·         Vampires bodies are not meant to change, but Jasper’s hair is longer in Eclipse than it was in New Moon and Twilight.

     

    ·         When Jacob is injured by the newborn vampire in the final battle, the Cullens and the Quileutes are crouched around him. The top of Jacob’s flesh-colored body suit is quite visible at his waist; he is supposed to be nude after phasing back into human form.

     

    ·         Spoiler! When Victoria’s head is popped off by Edward, who has killed her, her eyes are open. Seconds later, from another angle, her eyes are closed.

     

    ·         After killing Victoria, Edward rips off a piece of Bella’s shirt to tie around her bleeding arm. If you look at where he rips her shirt, the seam is visible where the fabric has already been cut and loosely reattached; there is a long horizontal wrinkle where it doesn’t hang right from the rest of the shirt.
