Fathom Entertainment’s re-release of Summit/Lionsgate‘s Twilight posted $1.548M in its first day Wednesday.
The feature take of the Stephenie Meyer saga started its rollout yesterday. Today, Twilight Saga: New Moon will play, followed by Twilight Saga: Eclipse on Halloween Friday, then Breaking Dawn Part 1 on Saturday, Nov. 1 and Breaking Dawn Part 2 on Sunday Nov. 2. The franchise re-release is part of the 20th anniversary of the novel. The entire big screen series is one of the most successful for a YA property counting north of $3.3 billion at the global box office.
Twilight opened on Nov. 21, 2008 to a 3-day of $69.6M in what was a highly anticipated take of the vampire romance YA novel. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the pic launched Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to global stardom. Twilight went on to gross $192.7M in its initial domestic release and $407.2M global. The current lifetime cume for the movie stands at $197M domestic and $413.7M worldwide.
Twilight ranked second yesterday after Sony/Crunchyroll’s Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc which made $1.622M. That anime movie counts $23.4M and is expected to decline -70% for a second frame in the $5M range.
With foot traffic expected to ratchet down tomorrow on Halloween, the major studios largely held off any new wide entries this weekend. AMC led the charge to put Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters back in cinemas while Focus Features’ Bugonia is the only title that’s technically new, expanding from 17 theaters in NYC, LA and Austin to 1,800 across U.S./Canada.
Meyer’s books have sold over 160 million copies worldwide and were translated into 49 different languages. Lionsgate’s TV adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel Midnight Sun has been picked up to series at Netflix. Summit, thanks to Twilight as crown jewel, was sold to Lionsgate on Jan. 13, 2012, Lionsgate for a reported $412.5 million.
