It will be a full five-day opening that includes the Independence Day holiday weekend, compared to “New Moon’s” measly three-day opening on a non-holiday (Thanksgiving isn’t until next week).
“Eclipse” will also be a summit of vampire vs. werewolf action as Bella (Kristen Stewart) must choose between toothy Edward (Rob Pattinson) and furry Jacob (Taylor Lautner), as well as mortality vs. immortality.
With lines already formed for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” set to be unleashed today, bloodthirsty teenage fans will no doubt turn their attention and wallets to the third installment of the vampire romance franchise sooner rather than later.
It’s been known in industry and extreme fan circles that Summit Entertainment is planning on releasing “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” June 30, 2010 in conjunction with the Independence Day holiday weekend. The release date for the third film breaks the consecutive streak of pre-Thanksgiving weekend openings for “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” Despite the hype and anticipation that has built over the past year for the sequel, Summit Entertainment’s decision to release “Eclipse” only seven months after “New Moon” is a crafty one. The 2010 pre-Thanksgiving weekend has already been claimed by “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (Part 1),” which meant that “Eclipse” would either have to go head-to-head with the first part of the final film of the Harry Potter series or wait until 2011 to regain its pre-Thanksgiving weekend timing. As it currently stands, no other potential blockbusters are scheduled for release June 30, 2010.
“As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob – knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death.”
