How exciting for Rob and the rest of the cast and crew. Someone at Summit is doing cartwheels.

Twilight fever is showing no sign of abatement with the film’s third installment. In fact, fans of the series seem even more juiced up than usual. The film grossed in excess of $30 million from its midnight shows Tuesday in over 4,000 theaters across North America. This estimate surpasses the previous midnight record holder, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which earned $26.3 million last November, and now holds the new industry record as largest midnight gross ever. The film — starring Kristen Stewart, Rob Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner — has received the largest North American release ever, bowing in 4,408 theaters on Wednesday. Twenty-nine additional theaters will be added by Friday for a total of 4,437.

Reviews of ‘The Twilight Series: Eclipse’

Blood Disgusting- Full Review

There’s a scene very early in Twilight: Eclipse in which Bella (Kristen Stewart) and sparkly vampire-boyfriend Edward (Robert Pattinson) lounge in a sun-streaked field of lilies, swooning over each other as they deliberate the future of the most important relationship ever to exist in the world – namely, their own – and generally babble on about just how tragic and beautiful they are. There’s also a lot of intimate embracing, and fingers lacing through fingers, and…well, you get the picture. It’s a groan-inducing scene for anyone over the age of twelve or in possession of a set of testicles, and it instantly brought to mind the dreadful second installment, New Moon, where by the end I literally felt the urge to spear out my own eyes and force-feed them to Chris Weitz on sharp metal skewers.

HitFix- Full Review

Slade is gifted with both an even larger budget and, more importantly, a book that features a driving main plotline and genuine progress in the Edward-Bella-Jacob triangle. With those things in his corner, Slade is able to do something truly noteworthy: He’s able to give “Eclipse” a look that is distinctive from the first two films, at times make this the first movie in the franchise driven by the director rather than screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg’s uber-literal take on Stephenie Meyer’s books.

The Hollywood Reporter Reviews Eclipse

by Jen on June 28, 2010

Could it be, another positive review!!!! Bottom Line: The teen vampire series finally hits its stride with an entertaining mix of romance and action fantasy.

It took three films, but “The Twilight Saga” finally nails just the right tone in “Eclipse,” a film that neatly balances the teenage operatic passions from Stephenie Meyer’s novels with the movies’ supernatural trappings.

Where the first film leaned heavily on camp and the second faltered through caution and slickness, “Eclipse” moves confidently into the heart of the matter — a love triangle that causes a young woman to realize choices lead to consequences that cannot be reversed.

Variety reviews, ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. A positive review!??!?!?

It goes without saying that the faithful will devour “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” the third movie in Stephenie Meyer’s immensely popular supernatural love-triangle saga, and also the one in which Bella must finally choose between her two beastly suitors. The pleasant surprise this time around is that the result finally feels more like the blockbuster this top-earning franchise deserves. Employing a bigger budget, better effects and an edgier director (“Hard Candy’s” David Slade), “Eclipse” focuses on what works — the stars — even as the series’ parent-friendly abstinence message begins to unravel. Summer release should reap Summit’s biggest yield yet.
