SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT MOVES UP RELEASE DATE FOR
TWILIGHT TO NOVEMBER 21, 2008
Los Angeles, CA August 15, 2008 - TWILIGHT, the
first film in Summit Entertainment's thriller
romance franchise, has moved up its North American
release date to Friday, November 21, 2008. The
film, which was previously planned to be released
on December, 12, 2008, is taking advantage of an
opening in the upcoming fall release calendar.
The new release date for TWILIGHT allows the
studio to both bring the film to the written-series'
enormous fan base sooner, and to present the film
in more theatres prior to the holiday movie-going
season where traditionally screen time for any
popular film is limited.
"When Warner Bros. decided to move HARRY POTTER
AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE to the summer of 2009,
we saw a unique opportunity to slot in our film
which has been gaining tremendous awareness and
momentum over the past several months," said Rob
Friedman, Co-Chairman and CEO of Summit
Entertainment. "We by no means are trying to fill
the shoes of the incredible POTTER franchise for
2008, rather we are just looking to bring the fans
of Stephenie Meyer's incredible book series the film
as soon possible from a programming perspective."
MTV is reporting that Twilight is taking Harry Potter’s vacated release date, moving up the release from December 12 to November 21! OME, happy birthday to me!

oh shnap!! 4 days before my birthday!! HOW EXCITING!! WOO HOO!!!
i seriously screamed out loud and when jumping crazily around my house when i read this…xDDDD
Ugh! I just bought a twilight movie poster (for $15!) with the oringinal date! Does this mean that my poster will be worth more? OME! The old date was 5 days before my birthday! OME!
I do not like HP and I don’t belileve that HP being moved to Summer of ’09 is an accident. Stephenie trumps J.K. Rowling! OME!
im think im the only one here who is going to complain about it and sorry i hav to ruin the mood! but i live in australia…we already had to wait till january 9th 2009 alomost a month after the original US release date, now we have to wait even longer for the movie and sit back useles while everyone goes to see it. i no there are many other countries that have to wait to and im sure they arnt happy either…so really they havnt made it better they have made it worse and when i found out i was sooo angry! it seems silly but for me like all you US twilight fans its a big thing!! if you had to wait another month and half im sure you would feel the same way! if i lived in the US then it would be 5 days before my birthday which would be perfect but sadly its not!
sorry to complain
o.o OMFE!! That’s so awesome!! XDDDDDDDDDDDD <3 AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! <3 **fangirl squeeeeeeeeeeeeee******** Wooooo!! I’m SO ready for Rpattz on the big screen!!!
OMe This saves 3 weeks of agony
Yeah but what the hell does this mean for Ausies, do we still have to wait for January 9th? If we do, by god someone is going down, this is so unfair, bloody americans get everything first.
– Blood Fae
Yay =]
Does Europe still have to wait for January 22nd, or will the release date be in December now?
Oh, please. That would be awesome!
Now it’s exactly 1 month after my birthday 😀

HP is just worried that Twilight will do better and that’s why they moved. (jk! :]) I’m SOOOOOO happy I probably would’ve died b4 Dec. 12th!!!!! (not literally.)
oh and maybe every1 that lives in different countries could come to US. and i bet the release date changed there to. did HP get changed there?

Don’t be surprised if we don’t get it in auz until January 12, which really sucks cause I’m so stoked for this movie *cry*.
