Much More Twilight Coming!
Filed under: Harry Potter > Twilight
There's no sunset on Twilight's horizon!
The film has not even been released and already, its fledgling studio - Summit Entertainment - is planning a sequel.
That's because they know they've got a hit with record-breaking soundtrack pre-sales on Amazon, exclusive merch snapped off shelves before even the first speck of dust can fall on it, and an internet trailer that's hit more than 3.5 million views in a mere 48 hours.
And, even though no one's said it out loud, the tweenie vampire movie, which can boast its own built in book fanbase, may have scared Harry Potter out of its fall release. The film's merch sales have already rivaled those of the lightnight bolt marked wizard.
The difference is that Twilight cost much less to produce than the bespectacled Harry Potter and a new studio with a potential new franchise on its hands is a phenomenon not often seen in Hollywood.
Without much money to spare, Summit had to turn to much more creative and efficient marketing schemes, a lot of which acknowedged and privileged the fans who made its already-success possible. This included a countdown clock widget and a trailer preview exclusive to fans.
So if all goes well, Summit's Twilight could lead to a sunny future.
Summit's already fucking things up, though, and many Twilight fansites tell us the bullying studio forced them to take the new trailer down from their sites.
Very lame!




Re: xxNicolexx – If she is your favorite author, why can't you spell her name. It's StephEnie Meyer…
i love this shit…cant wait for the movie (L)
I cant wait to see it!
OMG! im so very much excited!
Hahaha I dont think so
Think of Harry in a Studio point of view…this summer with the Dark Knight Warner Brothers studios sent everyone packing…obviously they dont have another dead ringer for box office blowout in the mix..so what do you do? Move Harry Potter to a summer release date to kick the other studios butt another summer in a row..everyone knows its a guaranteed hit
FUCK YEAH LOVE TWILIGHTTT ♥
I was a hardcore harry potter fan. i read those books over and over again. but as soon as i read the first chapter of twilight i was addicted twilight is so much better Stephanie Meyer is so much better of a writter then J.K. Rowling the twilight series was amazing and as much as i want to see the movie nothing will be better then the books!
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yay!!
LOVESIT
Re: baysidebird88 – i fucking agree!!!
ahh I so, totally love it
Oh how I cannot wait for this movie. Keep up the Twilight buzz, Perez!
Baha, hope they haven't srewed around with it too much.
hope the first one turns out good..
The Twilight series has been one of the few series that I've been able to read without wanting to put it down. I somehow managed to read all 4 books in less than 2 weeks and I can't wait to see the movie! Book 4 was a little disappointing, but it ended the way it should have. I really hope the movie turns out to be good!!!
Love me some more Twilight! And Robert Pattinson!
Re: Northshore – hahahaha. just because she's been praised by the likes of other actors does not mean she's any good. she's super bland and emotionless. Re: Bufffan – THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone gets it besides me.
(Personally i think i look like bella ahahaha or so i've been told)
but i'm laaame.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I SOOOOOOOOOO CANT WAIT TO WATCH THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Summit is doing as best as they can.
they wanted fansites to take off youtubed versions of the trailer and link to the official release ones like the HD version on myspace, that way it would be easier to tally exactly how many hits it received.
Plus HD is crystal clear dazzling. Summit is just trying to make sure fans are viewing the trailer in the best quality possible.
