The Twilight Saga is a series of romance fantasy films based on the book series Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The series has grossed over $3.36 billion worldwide. The first installment, Twilight, was released on November 21, 2008.[1] The second installment, New Moon, followed on November 20, 2009.[2] The third installment, Eclipse, was released on June 30, 2010.[3][4] The fourth installment, Breaking Dawn – Part 1, was released on November 18, 2011, while the fifth and final installment, Breaking Dawn – Part 2, was released on November 16, 2012.[5][6]
The series had been in development since 2004 at Paramount Pictures' MTV Films, during which time a screen adaptation of Twilight that differed significantly from the novel was written.[7][8] Three years later, Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the film. After Twilight grossed $35.7 million on its opening day,[9] Summit Entertainment announced they would begin production on New Moon; they had acquired the rights to the remaining novels earlier that same month.[10] The films in the series have received generally negative to mixed reviews from critics.
