• Box Office Prediction

  • "I would caution fans about taking the acquisition of the three other books as a commitment to making the films. Should the first film fail to meet financial expectations, the studio is likely to tread very carefully going forward. And with Summit Entertainment being a relatively young and small studio, they can't afford for Twilight to fail and still push forward with sequels.Moral of the story for Twilight fans: you'd better deliver the dollars or Edward and Bella's on-screen romance will be very short lived."FilmSchoolRejects: Twilight Sequels Already Headed for the Typewriter (November 14, 2008)
