Breaking Dawn release date: November 18, 2011
Posted on 05. May, 2010 by Amanda31 in News
According to HitFlix, a Summit Entertainment spokesperson has confirmed that Breaking Dawn will open nationwide on Nov. 18, 2011. Still no word on if it will be one more or two. The Los Angeles Times 24 Frames blog speculates on the 17 month delay between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn:
The surprising news here is that the movie, which will likely shoot in the fall, won’t be accelerated to come out next summer (as the third film, “Eclipse,” will when it’s released in June). Instead, Summit will wait another five months to bring out “Dawn” — which means it will be nearly 18 months between the release of the third and fourth movies in the franchise, the longest layoff since “Twilight” began. (While Summit said in the announcement that it wouldn’t confirm a fifth film carved out of the latter part of the “Breaking Dawn” novel — which furthers the mythology of Bella, Edward, Jacob and everyone else you’ve either devoured or struggled to avoid lo these many months – it would be almost shocking if they didn’t do just that.)
It’s hard to know what’s motivating the 17-month lag. Talent schedules would seem to be a factor, but almost as likely, especially given the fifth-movie talk, is that the fourth and fifth films would need to be shot back-to-back — which, depending on how it’s shot and edited, could require more time.

Perhaps they dont want to compete with Harry Potter 7 part 2 that comes out July 2011…just a thought…

Linda, I thought of the Harry Potter series, too. There were long periods between movie releases in that franchise as well, but all to the good.
I don’t mind waiting, as long as Summit continues to hold true to the books. ( I’m also hoping and praying they go with two movies for Breaking Dawn!)

I’m on the fence about it being 2 movies. As a reader, I thought BD was too long in parts. I would never say no to spending more time with my favorite characters though. I’m afraid that if it is 2 movies, I won’t find them dramatically satisfying. Will they end the 1st part at Bella’s transformation? That seems like a long enough movie, but then the 2nd part seems like it would be very short? Like Dreamingheart said, i just hope they stay true to the books. I’m still not over the fact that they left the blood typing scene out of Twilight. (who’s with me on that??).
Either way, as soon as I finish watching Eclipse, November 2011 won’t come fast enough!

I am with you Twilight Shelia, the blood type scene was a pivtol turning point in Bellas and Edwards relationship and I always thought it belonged in the movie, it was way too important to leave out. (only one of the disapointments in the Twilight movie) I can not wait for Eclipse and than Breaking Dawn, but it will be bittersweet to see the saga come to it’s conclusion. Ahhhhh….long live Twilight!

I said this months ago. There is no way they want to go up against the last Harry Potter, and no reason they should. If it’s two movies like I’ve predicted it will be Nov ’11 and Jun ’12.

To Twilit Sheila: That was my favorite scene in the book, i was so disappointed that the blood typing scene was left out, I really hope they stay true to Breaking Dawn. I am not sure if it can be made into a 2 part movie..i am currently rereading all the books…
Come June soon and so we will be seeing an Eclipse..

I too thought the bloodtyping scene was a pivotal part of Bella and Edward’s relationship. I would have loved to see Edward carrying Bella into the nurse’s office. This is when we really knew Edward cared for Bella.
I think Breaking Dawn will definitely be in two parts. The first part should end with Bella’s transformation. Part two of the movie will be plenty long with all the different clans arriving, Bella seeking J. Jenks, and Bella and Charlie’s relationship after the transformation. The second part will have to have a lot of Bella and Edward loving going on to keep fans happy. The other stuff could get boring.

I have to agree with Tracy on this one. Sooner would be best but I’m just greatful they are doing it now; however, I’m worried that with the big gap in between movies there will be interest lost. I understand that it is gonna take a lot to complete this film and hoepfully we will keep all the fans. Does that make since???

Nicole, I get what you mean, but I am sure the fans wont lose interest. I would rather prefer that they take the time they need for it, that hurry through it and the end result would be a bunch of bad takes ..
I am just happy that Stephenie Meyer is in on this one as a producer,

I think they could do Breaking Dawn in two movie. Film both right away. Then release them three months apart like they did the Matix 2 and 3. That way we won’t have to wait a whole year to see the second half.

I’m a really HUGE fan of the twilight trilogy, actually do think that Summit, or whoever is directing the fourth movie SHOULD really RETHINK this whole BD release date, it’s WAY too song to wait, i think that if they’re doing HP prt 1 this Nov, prt 2 in July of next yr, they should do BD in Dec, prt 2 in June of 11.
