Sequel to 'Twilight' Gets a Release Date
Written By: James Lincoln
Posted On: December 17, 2008
Monday, Summit Entertainment slotted "New Moon" -- the sequel to vampire romance "Twilight" -- for Friday, November 20th, 2009. Earlier this year "Twilight" opened with a huge $69.6 million in domestic boxoffice in the Nov. 21 frame. Distributors tend to return to the scene of such happy events with future franchise installments.
"Same time, same place," Summit distribution boss Richie Fay said. "If it's also the same gross, we'll be very pleased. Hopefully, we'll have even better results."
Execs at Summit -- which announced plans for a sequel on just the second day of release for "Twilight" -- just confirmed that Chris Weitz ("The Golden Compass") will direct "New Moon." The minimajor recently parted ways on the project with Catherine Hardwicke, who helmed the original.
