Twilight Thursdays! Vol. 1, Issue 30Submitted by Maria Jackson on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 - 9:43PMEclipse 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} In this video Nikki Reed expands on how and why Rosalie and Bella become much closer in Breaking Dawn

Just as I suspected. YouTube is the best place for Twilight spoofery.
