The Twilight saga is set to return to the big screen this fall as part of a nationwide celebration marking the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyer's original Twilight novel. Lionsgate and Fathom Events have partnered to re-release all five films in the franchise across U.S. theaters from October 29 to November 2.
Each night of the five-day event will feature one film from the saga—Twilight (2008), New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011), and Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012)—accompanied by exclusive roundtable discussions. These discussions will include insights from author Stephenie Meyer, producers Wyck Godfrey and Karen Rosenfelt, former Lionsgate executives Gillian Bohrer and Erik Feig.
The films, which propelled Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner to international fame, have collectively grossed over $3.3 billion globally.
As part of the anniversary festivities, Lionsgate is also launching Twilight in Concert, a 60-city U.S. tour from September 12 to November 30. This live-to-film experience will feature musicians performing the movie’s score in sync with the original film, enhanced by an atmospheric setting with more than 1,000 candles on stage.
Warner Music Group will reissue the original soundtracks for Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse on October 31. In addition, publisher Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will release three new collectible editions of Twilight on September 30, including a deluxe hardcover, a 20th anniversary paperback, and a full saga collection.
The “Forever Twilight in Forks” festival will also return to Forks, Washington—where the books are set—from September 11 to 14, featuring themed events, panels, and an appearance by Meyer.
Fans can also explore new merchandise this fall and revisit classic moments on the relaunched Twilight Saga YouTube channel, which now hosts clips and bonus content.
The Twilight fandom continues to thrive, two decades after the release of Meyer’s original book.
