Plot Summary:
"Twilight" tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan (Stewart) who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen (Pattinson), a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together... even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.

Teaser 2 and teaser 1 as below, both in HD at Movie-List.

This movie will be the biggest movie of 2008. Mark my words.

We've already seen the biggest movie of 2008 (The Dark Knight). Perhaps you mean 2009?

[Ophelia]

Well, it releases in 2008 right? I assume it will play on into 2009, so how will that work.

I think it will make more money than The Dark Knight. Teenagers are crazy for this flick and kids rule when it comes to movie $$.

BWAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH.

Dark Knight weekend tally: $158.4 million.

Tell you what, I'll bet you my signature Twilight doesn't sell as much if you combined it's grossing from theater plus DVD's sales. Deal?

Correct, it is being release in December, 2008. One reason films are released right before the end of the year is so that they qualify for the awards the following year. The Dark Knight grossed over $155M its first weekend. That's a record. "Blockbusters" are traditionally released in the summer when the kids are off school and can go to see them. Furthermore, it is a romance not an action film. I would be surprized if it grossed more than $25M total. If you look at some of Catherine Hardwicke's other films: Thirteen grossed $4.6M US, Lords of Dogtown $11M, The Nativity Story which opened in December - $38M, so its just not in the same league as a film such as The Dark Knight. Plus look at the competition it will be up against: Punisher, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Spirit, etc.
