The Movies

Just two years after Twilight was published, Meyer’s series was picked up as a movie with Summit Entertainment. For the first movie, it was fairly low-budget and not expected to have much monetary impact. The first sale amounted to $397,923,934 surpassing the goals by a long-run. For New Moon the budget was much higher and the price jump paid off. The movie brought in $712,623,634 in revenue. The success kept skyrocketing, totaling in $2,392,279,319 for the entire movie sales of the saga (and counting, Breaking Dawn Part 1 is still bringing in revenue along with Breaking Dawn Part 2 next November).

The movie has surpassed many midnight ticket purchasing markers. When Twilight originally came out it was #6 on the all-time pre-puchased movie ticket list. The others have surpassed that marker as well.
