FOR INTERNATIONAL RELEASE ONLY:
Our mailbag and blog posts have been filled of requests by overseas Lexiconers wanting to know about the release date abroad for the Twilight movie. We’ve seen the rumors too that have run from it won’t go to Europe at all, to it’s going straight to DVD, etc. We thought, time to end the rumors. Let’s get information straight from the source. So we talked to Summit and this is what we have been able to find out.
- This WAY TOO EARLY to tie any date down specifically.
- It’s currently slated for a early 2009 release.
- They know that the fans want to movie sooner rather than later.
We specifically asked, "Does that mean a December 12, 2008 release is out of the question?" We were told, "Nothing at this point can be ruled out." So, what it all boils down to is give it some more time, and concrete answers will be available.
The movie is still slated to release domestically on December 12, 2008.
Y’all are so great about taking care of the fans.
Thanks for all you do!
I can so see some serious Twilighters [or fanpires LoL] getting on a plane to be able to see Twilight when it’s first released. That would be hilarious.
Thanks for checking it out!!
as soon as possible, please!!!
Well if it doesn’t come out in December that will be a waste of my time because I was planning a movie party so yeah I hope nothing goes wrong
Also I hope fans won’t interrupt the movie by continuing coming on set.
oh nooo…i do hope they don’t extend the date. Waiting for the movie’s unbearable enough.
lets cross our fingers!
thanks for the info!
I really hope that the movie will be out on the same date here in sweden!!!
noooooo!!!!!!!!!!! i realllllly hope that it come out in december. if it doesn’t, i might possibly die.
I am going to die if the release date is extended!!!!!
it must come out in deceber in usa…so that we in europe can expect it in january………even that is to loooong….
that sounds good.
I am actually trying to block out the possibility that I might not be able to see the movie here in Germany in December. Jeez. I am only looking at English sites about Twilight. Maybe that’s why I don’t consider the possibility^^
But thanks for the info. I appreciate it
Now im getting worried… If there is a possibility that they wont show it in Europe… Just wanted to ask… What about ASIA??? I live in the Philippines that’s why I’m getting worried.
Wait..this is just internationally right? The release date is still set for December 12th here in the U.S.?
I appreciate the info! I’m moving to France in late August. It just seems unbearable to wait an extra month before I get to see it! :’[
hey Joanna, of course its going to be release here!! Twilights practically a real-life celeb here already, haha.
if “the host” got released here early then the movie might as well! =D
I really hope the movie is released the same date worldwide. I’ll be giving Summit Entertainment a lot of money as I intend to see Twilight more than I saw St. Trinian’s (which was five times in the cinema).
Thank you for the information, you lovely people =^.^=
~ JoJo, xo
if they push the date back, I’ll die
Thanks for keeping us updated!
As a European, I put faith in the statement that “nothing can be ruled out” when it comes to a 12.12.08 release. Although it’s probably a long shot, at least they haven’t said that the option is out of the question… We’ll just have to wait patiently and see!
i’m hoping you’re 3sh!!! I firmly believe that TWILIGHT will be big… probably at par with Harry Potter… and just a thought Harry Potter practically started the same way as Twilight, just a bestseller that is transformed into a movie… I think when the movie is released in December(judging that its good) its fanbase will eventually increase… okay im getting ahead of myself… I’m just saying that people WORLDWIDE should give the movie a chance! so i would like Dec.12 to be a TWILIGHT day WORLDWIDE whether it be in Europe or Asia or AFrica…
Aw you guys are fab
I don’t mind waiting if I have to. (I’m a new navy-wife, I’m used to patiently waiting for good things 
) It’ll be just as good if so. I’ll just have to sit back, enjoy my pocky, and avoid spoilers for a week or two heehee.
And hey! It’ll help me with my Japanese! Yay subtitles in other languages!
joanna, ditto!
I think you mean “AN early 2009 release.” Sorry, it was just bugging me.
Jessica, haha, you have a slight pet-peeve for grammatical errors as well? I noticed it too but let it off the hook.
i wanna twilight here in Brazil as soon as possible
(((( i’d love if it was released here in December 12th but… ok, if it’s the only way, i can wait a little more 
(((
Thankyou so much for the infomation! i really hope its released early in England otherwise i’ll have to avoid the internet completely until i see it!
I agree with Sophia! thanks for the info, though i hope it is not released early 2009, i could not wait 2 years!
Thanks for the answer…EARLY 2009??? OMG!
Celeste: Early 2009 would be 1-2 months after the US release date, so 9-10 months from now or so. Not 2 years
International??? Does that include Canada????
I freaking hope not!!
I doubt that it’ll be released so late after the US release in Canada though. If later, probably a few days at the most.
If it gets released later at all. I hope…
Okay, I’m against piracy but you know… I’m Spanish and I don’t think that I will be able to wait for the movie…
It’s just like Breaking Dawn, I have pre-ordered and I’ll have to wait at least one week and a half to hold it in my hands, I’ll have to avoid all these sites… I’m a little annoyed about that!
AHHHHHH, omg, if it get’s released in the USA december 12, i’m so driving down to new york to see it,
no ifs ands or buts about it
i’m lucky i live about an hour from the border,
i feel terrible for everyone who wont get the chance
any word about the canadian date yet?
I’m less than three hours from the American border…if it is released there earlier than Canada it will be SO tempting to drive down to New York!
OMG!
I live like 3 hours from the border too,
and I would totally do the same.
Do you think that the release date for america will be the same for canada?
gawdd, i hope so.
But still , might just drive down to new york ; )
I live in the states, but not Dec. 12th? TT_____TT
I can’t wait till’ early 09′ peeps! >:U
I hope it’s coming as soon as possible to cinemas here in Germany! Can’t imagine sitting here and waiting when it already came out somewhere… I would become zombie-like… :S
Oh I hope they release it earlier than said.
for the people who are worried if this includes the USA release date like Elle:
this post is about INTERNATIONAL releases not about the USA release. it is still going to be released in december 12
the problem is if it will be the same internationally
early 2009??????? NO— *thud*
What about Mexico? Yeah people say we are near to the states but it’s not that… easy you know? hahah We are near but so far at same time. I hope the release is earlier than 2009… I wanna see the movie before new year….
Thank you so much for taking care of us guys!!
This is one of the few times I’m glad that I live in America. I wouldn’t be able to handle the wait.
TWILIGHT IN ITALY 12.12.2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Claudia
Won´t be released in Europe? Oh no…..oh PLEASE no.
thanks so much for this!!! im still worried but it gives me hope
I think the ‘SATC’ movie is going to be released in Germany one day earlier than in the US.
So I have some very little hope that they’ll release ‘Twilight’ very close to the US date
That sucks, I was planning to have a ‘movie marathon’ and see Twilight and Harry Potter in like the same week. I hope the U.K. gets it the same time as the U.S., I’ll be ridiculously jealous otherwise.
America yay! sorry for all you foreigners.
i didnt realize how much variety we had on the lex i mean we have everybody! Mexico, Italy, Australia, England, France, Germany, Brazil.. EVERYBODY. jeez i live in Utah…
I’m glad I live in Canada. We may not get MTV videos, but to all of you who have to wait, you have my deepest sympathies.
I hope all goes well with your party Moonieh the viikii.
NO EXTENSION! I do hope international viewers get to see twilight the same time as the U.S.A. It just seems unfair, that just because they may live oversees, that they don’t get to see the movie the same time. I mean c’mon – who would want to spend a thousand dollars for a plane ticket to see the twilight movie? It doesn’t seem fair that people just as obsessed with these books, and this movie have to live in the U.S.A. to see the twilight movie when it is officially released. Can you smell a petition????
Anyway- just thought i’d share my point of view…
For all those Canadians worried about the release date…you don’t have to be. We always get the same films on the same release dates as the US.
Well if any out of country-ers wanna fly to the states I’m sure there’s a ton of us you could probably stay with, hehe
