Eclipse Hits Theaters in Wider Distribution Today: But Where Will it Land in 2010?

eclipsebill

Today Eclipse hits theatres in a wider distribution. It’s sort of a re-release since it’s hitting a broader area. Fandango is selling tickets to the re-release of Eclipse in celebration of Bella’s birthday! The link will help you find a theater near you, showtimes, and of course will let you order tickets!

As of Wednesday night, domestic sales of Eclipse are $298,859,646. That’s roughly 2 million more than the final domestic in theater sales of New Moon. As of right  now Eclipse is the number four film of the year behind Toy Story 3, Alice In Wonderland, and Iron Man 2.  It’s not very likely that Eclipse would overtake either of the top two this weekend. Toy Story 3 has earned over a whopping $400,000,000 and Alice in Wonderland has $334,191,110. On the other hand, Eclipse stands a decent chance at overtaking Iron Man 2 either by the end of this weekend or when it ends its in theater run some time in late November.

This re-release should solidify Eclipse as a top five film of the year putting it well ahead of Inception, currently in the number 5 position. The major challenge in the top five will come when the the first segment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows releases by the end of the year. Eclipse shouldn’t get knocked out of the top five, but it will be interesting to see what the final rankings will be.

We’re betting on the following:  Toy Story, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, Eclipse, Iron Man 2 being the final order. What do you think?

Eclipse DVD on the Horizon

DVD releases are tricky. They vary widely region to region and country to country. We don’t have an official press release yet from either Summit or the overseas distributors, but here’s what’s online via several outlets:

UK release date is December 6 (awaiting press release from E1 with confirmed specs) This date works nicely for a Saturday at midnight party.
Amazon UK
HMV

USA release date is December 4 (awaiting press release from Summit) This date works nicely for a Friday at midnight party.
Amazon (place holder no date yet)
Video ETA

Video ETA is listing commentaries by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Stephenie Meyer; however, this is as of yet unconfirmed. If previous releases of DVD’s are any indication, the extras could vary widely based on the region and retailer. Much to the chagrin of many Twilight fans, last time out there were key differences on what was available on the Borders, Target, and Walmart version on the DVD.

So stand by, we are sure a press release giving out all the details will be in the works soon.

MTV: Sofia Coppola and Adam Brody Talk About Twilight

Sofia Coppola was among the names that surfaced as a possible director for Breaking Dawn until Bill Condon landed the gig. MTV caught up with Sofia. Here’s what she had to say about Breaking Dawn and Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as actors.

“”Yeah, yeah, I talked to them about that,” Coppola revealed to MTV News. “I was interested in doing something but I didn’t end up doing it. But I love, I’m impressed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison pulling it off in that whole story,” she said. “And my friend’s kids love the story so much that I thought it would be fun to make something that they love so much.”

Adam Brody expressed regret for comments made on Diablo Cody’s Red band Trailer about Kristen Stewart and essentially how she should just quit the business if she couldn’t deal with the paparazzi.  There was a large backlash against him and others like, Ming Na who made comments on Twitter, from fans who stated that they didn’t have the right to judge since they (although they are in the entertainment business) have personally never experienced the daily level of intrusion that both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart face.
