New Records set by the Midnight Screening of Eclipse

There was no doubt that the third movie of the Twilight Saga franchise would be huge. Even before it was released, the movie has already smashed several records. On MovieTickets.com, it is the topseller for online advanced tickets and accounts for more than 50% of daily tickets sales. Fandango reported that 82% of their advanced online ticket sales is for Eclipse and has stayed on the top five since May 14, 2010. Gold Class Cinemas said that it has also broken the record of their tickets sales as 8,500 tickets have been reserved. The movie also grabbed the record of Iron Man for having the widest theatrical release in Hollywood history.

The movie then held their midnight opening last Wednesday, and it was record breaking. Eclipse crashed the record set by New Moon last week for having the biggest midnight opening in domestic history. It was shown in over 4,000 theaters and earned an estimated $30 million, eclipsing New Moon’s $26.3 million in 3,514 theaters.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse also grabbed the record from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for having the highest grossing IMAX opening in North America. The third installment of the nTwilight series was shown in 192 IMAX theaters and earned about $1 million. The sequel to the 2007 action flick Transformer earned about $959,000 last year.

But will Eclipse surpass the other records of New Moon and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Let’s just wait. But if you want, you can watch Eclipse online.  

Eclipse Sets First Record

Just before the third installment of the Twilight series will be shown in theaters, it made a record event. The movie proves to be critic proof, much like the past two Twilight movies. The reviews have come out, and the good side is that they were not as bad as Twilight and New Moon received, which saying there were less than favorable would be an understatement. But still, it didn’t matter as Twihards packed theaters and earned the two movies more than $1 billion at the box office. Not minding the fact that both movies have relatively small budgets, compared to other tentpole movies, in which $100 million production budget is considered a minimum, without counting the promotional expenses.

And now here comes Eclipse. Given how much the hype was given to the big screen adaptation of the best-selling third entry of Twilight novels by American author Stephenie Meyer, it is expected to be a huge hit at the box –office. And it is most likely so. The film has now set a record for having the biggest opening release in domestic history. Eclipse will be shown in 4,416 theaters throughout North America, surpassing the record set by Iron Man 2 last May. The Marvel Comics character movie adaptation and a sequel to 2008’s Iron Man, which starred Oscar winner Robert Downey, Jr., was released in 4,380 venues.

But will it surpass the records made by New Moon, like having the biggest midnight opening, and the biggest single-day opening in domestic history? It also the third highest opening weekend, and is placed 37^th for the highest grossing of all time, without inflation.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars  Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, and directed by David Slade. You might want to Watch Eclipse online.

Eclipse "Legend" TV Spot

Following the release of the last movie clip You’ll Always Be my Bella or Bedroom, and the featurette which showed the newborn vampires, now, Summit Entertainment has unveiled a brand new TV spot entitled Legend to promote the upcoming and much-awaited movie The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The studio is pretty much heavy to have the public feel the anticipation of the vampire phenomenon.

The latest TV spot is like a hodgepodge of previous clips, and trailer scenes that have been already released a few times ago. But not all of them were. There were never been seen clips that were included in the latest promotional stunt for Eclipse. But what’s great about Legend is how Summit edited the TV spot.  It starts with the beautiful meadow shot with Bella and Edward. And then the tension builds up with the confrontation scene of Edward and Jacob at the parking lot. The clip moves on to the newborn vampires. And that’s where the action starts. There are the spectacular and high-octane fight scenes of the vampires and the wolf pack. Victoria is also seen going up against the Cullens and the redhead vampire is looking pretty nasty.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is just a few days away before it will hit theaters. And from the TV spot, it does promise to be one of the most exciting and would probably be the biggest movie event this summer. There is so much buzz going around and is expected to top the box office after it will be released this June 30. It is directed by David Slade and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. It is based on the third novel the same title by Stephenie Meyer. The screenplay is written Melissa Rosenberg and produced by Wyck Godfrey and Karen Rosenfelt. And if you are a huge Twilight fan, you can also Watch Eclipse online.

A Brand New Eclipse Clip Featuring Edward and Bella

After Summit Entertainment has released a brand new featurette which focused on the newborn vampire army of Victoria led by Riley and their fight against the unlikely team-up of the Cullen Coven and the wolf pack which also showed several actors’ commentaries, behind-the-scene takes, training, and previous TV spots and movie clips, now the studio has unveiled another clip from the movie. Entitled You’ll Always be my Bella, it features Bella and Edward talking about trying to make a huge decision that will surely affect their lives forever.

In Eclipse, Bella is trying to decide whether she wants to become a vampire or not. And Edward is also caught in the dilemma if he will agree with Bella’s decision if she really does decide to become like a bloodsucker. And in the latest clip, Bella is asking why Edward does want her to be like. Edward then reveals that he thinks that vampires do not have souls, eventhough Bella believes otherwise. Although part of him wants her to transform into a vampire, he just feels that it is just selfish of him because he just wants to hold her forever. But Bella believes that the real reason is that Edward thinks hat she will change or be different. She then assures him that she wouldn’t and that she would still be warm and smell the same. Edward then hugs her and tells her, “You’ll always be my Bella.” They then shared a kiss together.

Bella is at a standpoint on Eclipse. Will she be willing to turn herself into a vampire? Is she ready to give up her budding friendship with Jacob? And if Edward asks her hand in marriage, will she accept her proposal? Through the midst of all these, Victoria is seeking her to avenge the death of her lover James, who was killed by the Cullens in Twilight. Will she survive?

These are just some of the questions that will be answered this June 30 once The twilight Saga: Eclipse will be shown in theaters. Or you might want to Watch Eclipse online.

Pattinson Appears On The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

I have actually stopped watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno after he unfairly and unmanly replaced Conan O’Brien as the host of the show. Leno hosted The Tonight Show in 1992 after Johnny Carson retired until 2009 and was replaced by O’ Brien. He then started his primetime show with NBC last year but it was later cancelled due to dismal ratings. What followed was one of the biggest late night show controversy after he returned as the host of The Tonight Show, and had O’Brien kicked out. But last night, I tuned in again, not because of him, but because Robert Pattinson was the guest. He was out to promote The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Pattinson was asked by Leno first if his parents, who were both seated at the audience, believed what the tabloids were telling like him having an alien child. He revealed that they used to-well, not the alien baby thing- but not anymore. He added that it depends on the sources. He also read some of the e-mails sent to him by his father. One talked about what his dad felt about Twilight. He revealed that his father thought Twilight was a mixture between Jaws and Superman. He then read another one which dealt with wooing a lady by kissing her hand. He then talked about his nude scenes. He said that he was given a little robe and by the time he was about to take it off, he felt like he was gonna throw up. And when he was naked, only one person looked a little more than one second at him: the cameraman. He wanted to say to the 6 or 7 people there who looked away, “Hey, I’m sitting here naked alright now I want some respect.”

Later, Emma Roberts, who just landed a starring role in the fourth installment of the Scream franchise, revealed that he was into Edward. She said to Pattinson sitting next to her when she was asked by Leno if she was Team Edward or Team Jacob, “I’m sorry, your hair looks wonderful in person, but I’m going to have to say I’m Team Jacob.” But Pattinson said, “You’ve just revealed yourself to have absolutely no taste.” Snap! Emma, niece of superstar Julia Roberts, posted on her Twitter, “Rob Pattinson is so nice! I was so slightly disappointed his skin wasn’t glistening & the song ‘Wild Thing” didn’t start when he shook my hand,” which then started an influx of hate tweets from the Team Edward fans. The nasty tweets caused Emma to cancel her Twitter account.

But on a happier note, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is set to hit theaters on June 30, 2010. But you may want to Watch Eclipse online to stay away from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno… unless one of the Twilight casts will appear.
