March 23, 2009


Summit Entertainment announced today that the home entertainment release of the studio's action-packed, modern day vampire love story Twilight sold over 3 million DVD units in its first day of release. The DVD launch commenced this past Saturday morning at midnight with nationwide events during which time Summit and its retail partners provided Twilight fans with the chance to celebrate the DVD release of the film. "'Twilight' at Midnight" allowed participating retailers the opportunity to stay open late as fans lined up in impressive numbers to purchase the DVD of the epic romance at midnight parties.

Thousands of Twilight fans across the nation participated in the "'Twilight' at Midnight" event and some were surprised by filmmaker and cast appearances. 2,500 fans attended in Salt Lake City to see Rachelle Lefevre who plays Victoria; 2,000 showed up in Los Angeles to see Ashley Greene who plays Alice Cullen; over 1,000 fans came out to see director Catherine Hardwicke in Dallas; 700 fans lined up in New York for Edi Gathegi who plays Laurent; and 500 fans in Chicago saw Nikki Reed who plays Rosalie Hale.

With over 3 million DVD units sold, Twilight enters the top five best first day DVD releases over the past two years along with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Transformers.

Summit Entertainment's Co-Chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger stated, "The Saturday release in conjunction with the groundbreaking retail events across the country have proven to be overwhelmingly successful which in turn benefited 'Twilight' fans as well as our retail partners. Home Entertainment President Steve Nickerson, the home entertainment group and the entire family at Summit are to be commended for the conceptualization and execution of this unique approach."

"We are incredibly appreciative that 'Twilight' fans came out to once again support this film at our midnight events across the nation," said Steve Nickerson, Summit's President of Home Entertainment. "With such a successful first day sales, it is apparent that our fans remain passionate about the 'Twilight Saga' and want to own a piece of the Edward and Bella story they have come to love. We look forward to the continued success for both the home entertainment and retail sales of this property as a whole."

Twilight, which was released in theaters on November 21, 2008, grossed $69.6 million domestically in its first weekend and to date had grossed nearly $380 million worldwide. The film tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan (Stewart) who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen (Pattinson), a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together...even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.

LOL -Look at me, when I stand in the sunlight I look like I'm standing under a disco ball-heehee

[victors]

don't forget this, we are almost there! Pre-ordered!

Portugal news: Twilight is the most best seller ever in online pre-order (900 units), normal, special 2 disc, limited collector's edition. The CE sold out on pre-order for 34,99€ (cheapest in the world).

And the pre-sale took place at 7th April Fnac Lisbon, Porto and Algarve. They created a mid-night event for fans where 750 people attended. Yes 750!! Everyone killing each other to get a piece of it!

The blu-ray edition might be release later.

It is called "Crepúsculo" in México. Is the same in Spain? quite often titles are different in Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, etc.

BTW Twilight is also a bestseller over here.
I haven't seen this movie but my sister loved it. She just bought the BD. I'll ask her to lend me her copy next week.

Is DVDGo the only online store to get this title? They charge an arm and a leg for shipping though. Noone knows of any other spanish online store that charges reasonable rates for just 3-4 copies?

no one knows.....I have a feeling based on the audience is gonna be a metal jewelry box 'metalbox' I guess time will tell

[apsmith21]

I'm going to wait on this a little bit - but has anyone ordered from FNAC.es before? Just curious about any feedback on the overall experience, etc...

It's all speculation and prediction at this point. I did a price check on dvdgo, and shipping 20 SteelBooks comes out to 54.37 Euros (shipped to the US), which would bring the price down considerably per Steelie. Total came out to 550.09 Euros (20 copies), which breaks down to about 27.51 Euros a piece.

I'd be careful with dvdgo though. They are known for labeling Metalcrap as a SteelBook, their packaging is hit or miss, and their customer service is absolutely horrid. This one is also labeled as a Metalbox, but it may still be a SteelBook. Good luck to anyone that orders it.

You're going to regret not getting this one dan ... only b/c it's going to be one of the few Spanish SBs out there and it should sell fast ... I myself don't care for the movie (haven't even seen it), but I from a pure SB standpoint I think it's a good addition...

[victors]

mr. b You should be more specific and careful on what you say.
Yes, the price check is to USA only.
We Europeans pays VAT.

If the shipping and customer service is so bad for you, that's why you people shouldn't order yourself. Their service is superb for me!
And you are insulting fans of Metalcrap like me.

Hee, I know you are probably right, but I just can't bring myself to do it-LOL Now if this movie shoots up to Rambo Status in a couple of months, you have the official right to say to slap the crap out of me. LOL

I agree, I am skeptical and based on the audience of the movie i fear it being just that, a metal box like a jewelry box. Thats exactly the price I got and after what i learned about credit card consumer laws and the lack of protection on international purchases I am gonna just stick with Amazon and fellow forumees(FYI- if it arrives damaged from an international vendor its yours, your credit card chargeback is not applicable as there are no international consumer protection laws as they apply to the USA only)
