Prepare for a nostalgic journey back to Forks, Washington, as the beloved Twilight Saga announces its highly anticipated return to movie theaters this fall, marking a significant celebration for fans worldwide.
This special limited-time theatrical re-release will see all five iconic films of the franchise gracing the big screen once again, courtesy of a strategic partnership between Lionsgate and Fathom Entertainment. The cinematic event is scheduled to captivate audiences from October 29 to November 2, offering a unique opportunity to experience the supernatural romance that defined a generation.
Each day of the re-release period will feature a different installment, allowing dedicated Twihards to relive the entire saga sequentially. The original “Twilight” film kicks off the event on Wednesday, October 29, followed by “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” on Thursday, October 30, and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on Friday, October 1. The grand finale will feature “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” on Saturday, November 1, and conclude with “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” on Sunday, November 2.
This grand theatrical re-release serves as a cornerstone of numerous festivities planned to honor the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyer’s groundbreaking book that ignited the global phenomenon. “Twilight,” the inaugural novel in Meyer’s best-selling series, was originally published on September 27, 2005, forever changing the landscape of young adult fiction.
Ray Nutt, chief executive officer of Fathom Entertainment, eloquently expressed the sentiment behind the revival, stating, “Twilight fans are some of the most passionate anywhere, making this iconic movie franchise the epitome of a modern-day classic, which Fathom Entertainment is thrilled to help bring back to the big screen in this special cinematic engagement.” He further emphasized the collaboration with Lionsgate to celebrate two decades since the book’s publication, encouraging fans to fully immerse themselves in the experience.
Beyond the silver screen, the 20th-anniversary celebrations extend to new literary offerings. Publisher Little, Brown Books for Young Readers is set to release three distinct special editions of “Twilight” on September 30, including a hardcover deluxe collector’s edition, a paperback 20th-anniversary version, and a complete box set encompassing the entire saga.
Adding another layer of immersive fan engagement, “The Twilight Saga: A Symphonic Experience,” an ambitious U.S. tour, will run from September 12 to November 30 across 60 cities. This unique event will combine a screening of the original film with a live performance of its entire score by a 12-piece orchestral ensemble, creating an unforgettable cinematic experience. Furthermore, Warner Music Group will re-release the original soundtracks from the “Twilight” and “New Moon” films on October 31, allowing fans to revisit the beloved musical landscapes of the saga.
