Vampire Love Story Returns to Theaters: Twilight Makes a Comeback

Twilight, the movie that sparked a global phenomenon, is back on the big screen. In just one day, it made over $1.5 million. This is part of a special event where all five movies in the series are being shown over five days. The last time Twilight was in theaters was over a decade ago.

A Decade Later, Still a Hit

The first Twilight movie was released in 2008 and became an instant hit, earning nearly $200 million in the U.S. alone. The story of a human girl and a vampire boy became a worldwide sensation, launching the careers of its actors and creating a massive fan base.

How Does It Compare to Modern Movies?

Twilight came in second place behind an anime movie called Chainsaw Man, which made slightly more on its first day. However, Twilight's numbers are still impressive for a movie that's over 15 years old.

The Twilight Trend

The Twilight series is part of a larger trend—young adult books and movies have been wildly popular for years. The Twilight books sold over 160 million copies worldwide. A new TV show based on one of the books is even coming to Netflix.

The Value of the Franchise

The studio that made Twilight, Summit, was sold to Lionsgate a few years ago in a deal worth over $400 million. This shows just how valuable the Twilight franchise remains.

Why Is Twilight Still Popular?

Is it the story? The actors? The nostalgia? Whatever it is, people are still willing to pay to see it. Twilight proves that some stories never really fade away.
