Today Eclipse hits theatres in a wider distribution. It’s sort of a re-release since it’s hitting a broader area. Fandango is selling tickets to the re-release of Eclipse in celebration of Bella’s birthday! The link will help you find a theater near you, showtimes, and of course will let you order tickets!
As of Wednesday night, domestic sales of Eclipse are $298,859,646. That’s roughly 2 million more than the final domestic in theater sales of New Moon. As of right now Eclipse is the number four film of the year behind Toy Story 3, Alice In Wonderland, and Iron Man 2. It’s not very likely that Eclipse would overtake either of the top two this weekend. Toy Story 3 has earned over a whopping $400,000,000 and Alice in Wonderland has $334,191,110. On the other hand, Eclipse stands a decent chance at overtaking Iron Man 2 either by the end of this weekend or when it ends its in theater run some time in late November.
This re-release should solidify Eclipse as a top five film of the year putting it well ahead of Inception, currently in the number 5 position. The major challenge in the top five will come when the the first segment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows releases by the end of the year. Eclipse shouldn’t get knocked out of the top five, but it will be interesting to see what the final rankings will be.
We’re betting on the following: Toy Story, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, Eclipse, Iron Man 2 being the final order. What do you think?

Swap toy story and Harry potter. And I think you got it right!! Harry is gonna be so huge and epic!! Everyone will see it!!
It’s over a three hour drive to nearest theatre showing it. That’s hardly a release to a broader area. More accurately it’s an insult to fans.
Depending on where you live, yes you might have issues getting to a theatre that is showing it. It all depends on Summit’s agreement with those who run the theatre chain. If you live in a small town out in the middle of nowhere, you can’t expect to have to travel to a larger city to see it. That is common sense. Rereleasing Eclipse is going to cost Summit money, so in return they want to MAKE money. If they can push it into a few more theatres where they can somewhat guarantee a return, then they’ll do it, if they can’t they won’t. It isn’t an insult… it’s business.
dont want to see it on cinema again, want it on DVD now lol.
I wanna c it but i dnt think it cums in my area……….
I don’t think it is in my area, either. :’-(
Its showing in theaters in my area, but not the best showtimes. I just wish the would re-release it in Imax too. Inception has been in Imax way longer than Eclipse was. I didn’t get to see Eclipse in the short time it was in Imax and was told it was awesome. Is Eclipse really going to be in theaters till Nov??? I hear the Dvd will be out in early Dec…of course nothing confirmed.
*pouts* not playing where I live
It’s still at the Dollor movies here.
Headed to see it again tomorrow night. I just can’t get enough. “Hi I’m Jennifer & I’m a Twilight addict.”
Hi Jennifer I’m Julie and I have an Edward addiction.. I was going to try and get treatment for it but then I decided it just wasn’t something I want to give up…LOL!! Headed to see it for the 3rd time this weekend!!
“They tried to make me go to rehab but I said “no, no, NO!” XD
Ive seen it six times at cinema and my husband has been very understanding, but i think if i went again it may be straight to a divorce court after. Totally addicted 37 year old with an Edward poster in her wardrobe where the hubbie cant see….lol
my hubby knows I’m addicted and at points he enables my addiction.. he got me an Edward b-day cake for my birthday! how cool was that of him?? we can’t help the fact that we have an addiction! But we can sure as hell can feed it as much as possible!! hehehe
It’s so nice to see other “older” ladies with the same addiction…for while I truly felt I needed therapy. After finishing the books and all the movies…I was sad for a week..then started reading and watching the movies all over again. lol I’m 42, married with a child etc! Hey..I think I’ll get me a poster too…Edward addict!
Tameka don’t feel bad I am 41 and most likely way more addicted that you, I am sitting here wearing an eclipse shirt as I type this….LOL
http://twilifer.webs.com/obsessed.htm As you can see WAY MORE
well since we are all sharing, I have 12 different Edward shirts (sorry Bella isn’t allowed) a necklace, a poster, and tons of mags where he is voted sexiest man… not to mention the fleece blanket I just bought of him… like I said this in an addiction, but it can be a very fun and interesting addiction!! does anyone else skip over the parts of the movie that he isn’t in?? maybe it’s just me….
team Edward because
1. pianists are good with their fingers
2.i don’t mind being covered in feathers
3.who needs a headboard
4. Jacob doesn’t sparkle.
Hi my name is Debbie and I am an addict too! 39 and crushing big time! My Husband just laughs! He said he will buy me the DVD but he wont come and watch it again at the cinema!
seriously thinking there are enough of us in above the age of 30 to start our own fan club and put the young ones to shame!!
i so agree. I love on the New Moon DVD the section where you can watch only the Edward Parts….watch it alot
Going to see it tonight
I just got back from seeing it and it was great… again (8th time). If the December 4th release date is true, I’m bummed. I was hoping for around the end of October, maybe first part of November. It just seems like a long stretch to wait till December 4th. If the movie is playing all weekend (or even into next week), perhaps I’ll go see it for a 9th time. Got to get my fill since I must patiently wait for the DVD.
Harry will top Toy Story foR sure!
I am so bummed it’s not showing near me. I’d have to drive over an hour to see it. And really wanted to see it again. I saw it only twice & want to go again so badly!
I think your final order is pretty close. I really can’t see Harry Potter overtaking Toy Story for the 6 or so weeks of the year it will be out before it turns 2011. (I actually didn’t realize Alice In Wonderland made that much money. I loved it. Just didn’t realize it did that well.)
I totally agree. I think HP will have to use a lot of magic wands to stay at top five this 2010.
Its genius for Summit to rerelease Eclipse, It will totally cement its place at third if not second. Nothing is impossible. Non-fans were totally warming up when it was rudely removed from theatres. Go Eclipse!
I’m bummed. It’s not showing near me. I so want to see it again.
Ladies, I am 40 and my husband is coming around. We’ve made it a family affair, my 2 daughters LOVE Twilight too, 1 is 21 and 1 is 12…So there are definately all ages here…My husband loves Ashley…but of course the Cullen men are definately our(the girls) eye candy!!
My entire closet is Twilight and I have drawings I have printed from internet in frames on shelves throughout my house. I have different stuff, band-ades, games, magazine covers and still collecting…. We can’t wait til they start filming in Baton Rouge, anyone up for a little road trip!?!?! M
I agree with Harry Potter for the top movie, then Toy Story but what about Avatar? That made a bazillion dollars maybe it belongs at the top spot.
