This Wednesday, Lionsgate, the media company that acquired the Twilight production company Summit Entertainment, and the official Twilight Instagram account posted about the mega-popular film series returning to theaters for the 20th anniversary of the books by Stephenie Meyer.
The captions read: “All five films. Back in theaters. This October. Get tickets now at the link in bio.”
The film series—which provided the breakout roles for Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner—has grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide, and still has pop culture relevance, more than 10 years since the last movie in the series was released. It follows Bella Swan as she navigates her feelings for vampire Edward Cullen.
The theater dates for the rerelease of each of the five movies start on October 29th and go on to November 2nd. The first movie, simply titled Twilight, will be rereleased in theaters on October 29th, while New Moon will come out on October 30th, Eclipse on October 31st, Breaking Down, Part 1 on November 1st, and Breaking Dawn, Part 2 on November 2nd.
