Twilight Poster Spoofs
July 5, 2010
These actually cracked up Eclipse director David Slade and he tweeted about them. It’s well worth looking at all of them but numbers 20 and 21 are the Twilight themed ones.
Also on the spoof scene today is Cinematical. Eric Snider has come out with his version of Eclipse. Think of it as Eclipse in 5 minutes.

June 30-July 3 Eclipse Box Office Tally Is 161 Million
July 4, 2010
According to Gossip Cop:
“The latest numbers are in, and Eclipse will rake in an estimated $89 million for the holiday weekend.
So far the film has made $161 million in North America and is expected to earn $181 million by the end of the holiday weekend.
Internationally, since opening in June 30, Eclipse has grossed an estimated $100.2 million from 42 territories.”
You can see the full evolution of the numbers here.
How does Eclipse rank overall this year? Box Office Mojo has the chart. It hasn’t been updated since Friday, but assuming the estimates are correct, than Eclipse should easily move ahead of Clash of the Titans and be in fifth place when solid numbers are release Monday afternoon.
New Moon capped out it’s nearly 6-month box office run at approximately 296 million the question is, “Can Eclipse pull off the same or exceed that total?” Many franchise movies put out stunning numbers, but they don’t always top themselves film to film. For example the Harry Potter films have always done well but the two most highest grossing film remains the first one.
Blogger Maggie Reviews Eclipse
July 4, 2010
We first met Maggie a few years ago when she wrote in about visiting Forks. We next met her on the set of Twilight were she was observing as part of her PH.D. program(see photo left). Maggie has also been to London premieres and other UK events since she’s doing her academics in Wales. Maggie was also the person who arranged for all the speakers at TwiCon (not the scheduling of them, but the actual people who gave presentations, Maggie is the one who found them and got them to show up).
Since Maggie’s PH.D. concentrates on film and specifically bringing childrens/YA books to film, she’s been as much involved in following the Twilight progression as anyone.
“Alrighty, I’ve seen Eclipse (finally… stinkin’ UK delayed release…) and I am pleased, bordering on impressed, with the film’s final product. The progression of the talent, the story development and the improved tone were most impressive to me.
The first thing I’m impressed by how much they were able to fit into a two hour film in order to provide background information, plot progression information, and fan-demanded information. Let’s review: trip to Florida, virgin conversation, proposal, tent scene, Jasper’s background, Rosalie’s background, Leah’s backstory, reiteration of main points like talents, wolf telepathy, body heat, the make out scenes, punching a werewolf in the face, the jealousy and anger of the Volturi, Riley and Victoria’s messed up relationship…
The list goes on. I’ll go into a few comments though in my normal manner.”
