Breaking Dawn Part I Breaks $700 Million Mark Worldwide
The fourth (and a half) installment of Twilight Saga movies has bitten off more than they can chew—$700 million to be exact. Since its release on November 18,2011, the movie surrounding Bella and Edwards nuptials and unplanned vamp pregnancy is on its way to topping New Moon’s $709.8 million as it hits China and Japan.
Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group Co-Chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger stated, “The milestone is important on several fronts and illustrates the vitality of the franchise on a global scale even after four films.”
“Stephenie Meyer's story and characters were brought to the screen this time via the talented hands of Bill Condon along with the cast and crew that has been with the film franchise since its inception.”
Breaking Dawn Part I will be available on Blu-Ray, DVD and VOD February 11, right before Valentine’s Day—how convenient.
“We are very proud of the success the franchise has experienced and anticipate the saga's conclusion this November.”
The epic conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Part II will be released to theaters Nov 16,2012.
